Connections Block: HIS 102-B023 US History after 1865 and REL 241-B023 Religion in America Students will explore religious trends in America from 1865 to present day. Topics include how religion has served to affirm (and/or suppress) regional, racial, sexual, and ethnic identities in the 19th and 20th centuries, religion’s role in continuous US ideologies of “manifest destiny,” the social gospel movement’s reaction to the Guilded Age, spiritual responses to the Great Depression, and the religious motivation behind temperance movements. A special focus will be on Civil Rights-era spiritual themes, as well as the rise of the late-20th century Religious Right.
