History 662. The Civil War and Reconstruction
Prof. Mark Grimsley
Spring Quarter 1998
Office: 363 Dulles Hall
292-1855
E-mail: grimsley.1@osu.edu
This course describes and analyzes the history of America's greatest crisis, from its origins in the early nineteenth century through the abandonment of Reconstruction in 1877, with some attention to sectional reconciliation and the various ways in which the crisis is remembered. It interweaves the political, military, social, economic, and cultural dimensions of this experience in roughly equal proportions, with emphasis on the linkages between them.
Students will achieve an understanding of the main developments of the Civil War and Reconstruction era, the ways in which these developments reflected or shaped developments in general American history, and the main interpretations advanced by scholars who have studied this subject. They will also hone their skills at critical writing and analysis, and will gain greater insight into the way historians explore the human condition.

Introduction
History 662 is an upper division course taught at an advanced level. It is also an elective. I therefore assume that students have chosen to take it because they are interested and motivated to learn the material. I also assume that students have an appropriate background in American history, which is why I strongly encourage you to have at least taken History 151 (American Civilization to 1877) before attempting this course.
The course requires about 150 pages of reading per week--sometimes more, seldom less. If you accept this reality at the outset you will be all right. If you assume you can pick up everything from lecture or from a light skimming of the texts you will not do well. It's as simple as that. But don't assume that you can blow off the lectures, either. For one thing, paying attention to the lectures will help keep you on track, so that you don't overemphasize some issues while ignoring others. For another, good attendance helps generate a certain good will between instructor and student, because it more or less demonstrates that the student is trying. That good will can come in handy if you fall down on the mid-term and need a little extra help. Finally, there is almost always a strong positive correlation between good attendance and good course performance. So while lecture attendance is not required, it is strongly encouraged.
Office Hours
Similarly, I encourage you to take full advantage of my office hours and those of the teaching associate. As a practical matter, you may want to visit him in preference to myself, since he will be grading your examinations.
Quizzes
I administer quizzes about every two weeks in order to test whether students have done the assigned reading. The quizzes are not announced in advance. They consist of a few multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. If you have absorbed the major points of the assigned reading, you should do well. If not, not.
Examinations
The mid-terms and final are divided into two main parts: "identifications" and essays.
1. Identifications
Identification questions call upon the student to identify and give the significance of a given term. The identification portion of the answer should define the term and/or discuss its important features. The significance portion should link the term to one or more of the larger conceptual issues raised in the course. Example:
Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation - Issued in September 1862, it did not free any slaves but simply announced that if the rebellious states did not return to the Union by January 1, 1863, the slaves living in the rebellious states would then be freed. But its issuance signaled the end of the Union conciliatory policy and implicitly announced that the North would prosecute the war by any means necessary. Significance: The issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation marked the war's true turning point, because it transformed a conflict to quell rebellion into an all-out, revolutionary war designed to change the South's fundamental social, economic and (to some extent) political structure.
Notice that this ID was answered in just three sentences. Try to be as succinct when you write your own. Too often students will include a great deal of extraneous information in their ID responses that improves their grade not a whit. Just as often they will fail to address the ID's significance; i.e., to place it in a larger context. Avoid making either mistake.
2. Essay
The identification portion of the test is concerned primarily with the student's understanding of the facts. By contrast, the essay is more concerned with the student's grasp of the overarching concepts and how these concepts organize and give meaning to the facts themselves. Students frequently assume that the essay is just another way for them to demonstrate what they know about the material that has been presented in class. This leads them to do a "memory dump," which can have unpleasant consequences and usually does, because an essay is intended to test your ability to think analytically and to explain your analysis on paper. This involves, in turn:
a. an ability to write clearly, so that the reader is not baffled by misspellings, grammatical faults, run-on sentences, etc.;
b. an ability to articulate a thesis; in other words, to orient the reader to the question that will be answered and to explain why the question is important;
c. an ability to prioritize. What issues are most important in answering the question? What is the most logical order in which to present them? What examples most clearly illustrate these critical issues?
d. an ability to avoid the irrelevant: everything you write should relate directly and explicitly to the question posed;
e. an ability to write an essay that is proportional to the time allowed for its completion. If you have 20 minutes to complete an essay, you must tailor your depth of coverage so that you cover the whole question in 20 minutes, without omitting important points or overemphasizing one point to the detriment of another.
Book Reviews
1. Selection of Books
You must choose two books from the bibliography in the back of this packet, but you cannot choose books that are already part of the reading for the course. The books should be related in some way--chronologically, thematically, etc.--and you should examine the books in a comparative fashion.
Before you decide which books to choose, it is best to examine them first. Most are monographs; ie., works devoted to a single main subject, with an obvious thesis and argument. But some are interpretive syntheses--works that provide an overview of a substantial period or topic--while others are essay collections. Generally speaking, you should match like to like: pair a monograph with a monograph, a sythesis with a synthesis, and so on. Whenever possible, choose books that contrast with one another.
2. Content
I expect your book reviews to conform more closely to those found in scholarly journals than to those in newspapers and general interest magazines. In newspapers and magazines, the main point of the review--besides telling what the book is about--is often to give the reader a sense of the work's style and dramatic qualities. Academic reviews, on the other hand, have a somewhat different agenda. Their purpose is fourfold: (1) to explain briefly what the book is about, (2) to analyze its thesis, (3) to offer a critical assessment of the book's strengths and weaknesses, and (4) to appraise its historical value. While this is not intended as a rigid formula, each of these points should be addressed in the course of your review.
1. What the Books Are About - Offer the reader a brief overview of the books' subject matter, but try to encapsulize each work within three or four paragraphs. Identify the major events and personalities examined, key concepts employed, etc., but do not summarize the books in detail.
2. Thesis - What are the authors' main arguments? What are they trying to demonstrate or refute? Do they reach similar or divergent conclusions?
3. Strengths and Weaknesses - What do you think of the authors' theses? Do they do a good job of proving it? What sources did they use--personal experience, unpublished government documents, private manuscript collections, published primary or secondary works? If the books deal extensively with non-English-speaking nations, did they consult sources written in the appropriate foreign languages? Do you think they addressed all the relevant issues or can you think of some that they ought to have examined but did not? What were the authors' qualifications for writing such books? Did they have a particular ax to grind? Is their writing style clear or is their prose convoluted and difficult to follow?
4. Historical Importance - How useful would an interested historian find the books to be? What makes you think so? Most especially, place the books within the context of one or more of the main themes and concepts discussed in the course.
These questions and issues are intended as examples of what your paper should cover. They are not a checklist. Some may be more relevant to the books you select than others while you may come up with other questions not mentioned here.
3. Format
Your review should be typed, double-spaced, and about eight pages in length. It should be written clearly and free of grammatical errors and misspellings. I am not kidding.
On a separate cover sheet, give the review some sort of title and below it, place your name, the course number, and the date. The book's bibliographical data should appear at the top of the review: author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, number of pages. For example:
Gary W. Gallagher, The Confederate War: How Popular Will, Nationalism, and Military Strategy Could Not Stave Off Defeat. Cambridge, Mass., and London: Harvard University Press, 1997. Pp. viii, 218.
In instances where you quote directly from a work under review, a parenthetical citation [e.g., (Gallagher, 26)] is appropriate. If other works are quoted, give the full citation in a footnote [e.g., Gary W. Gallagher, The Confederate War: How Popular Will, Nationalism, and Military Strategy Could Not Stave Off Defeat. (Cambridge, Mass., and London: Harvard University Press, 1997), 26.] When in doubt, consult an appropriate reference work. One of the best is Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (5th ed., Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 1987). It sells for about $7.95 in paperback and is readily available.
In the past, I have received a number of book reviews that do not meet the above criteria, with dire consequences for the student.
