This class will introduce students to the history of U.S. foreign policy during the time of the Early Republic (1776-1815). During this crucial period of American history, the United States sought to establish its self-proclaimed republican ideals in the midst of belligerent and competing empires, such as the United Kingdom, France, and Spain. Beyond highlighting some of the major challenges for foreign policy makers at the time, the course seeks to explore some of the most pertinent themes of Early Republic historiography. Which problems arose when securing an alliance with France during the Revolutionary War, and how did the French Revolution impact this alliance? How did Slavery in the United States impact the understanding of the Haitian Revolution? What were the consequences of the capture and enslavement of American sailors in the Mediterranean? Which factors can be attributed to the renewal of hostilities between the United Kingdom and the United States during the War of 1812? We will discuss these and other related questions on the basis of both secondary literature and an array of primary sources, including diplomatic correspondence, treaties, and personal letters.
