WELCOME TO THE CLASS SITE FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS’ HIST 3603!

As the title suggests, this is a class project where we endeavor to explore Gary
Nash’s concept of the American Revolution as a “multiplicity of revolutions.”1
Throughout the semester, our class explored the social, political, and economic
history of the American colonies, from before their inception to the pivotal
rupturing of the British Empire that resulted in American independence. More
importantly, though, we also examined how concepts of gender, race, class, as
well as notions of identity and agency changed over space and time during this
period. We did this by discussing major cultural, economic, political, and
social changes, like Bacon’s Rebellion, and we explored how colonists both dealt
with the consequences of these changes and chose to remember them. As we moved
into the revolutionary period, our class examined how the traditional social
mores cemented during the colonial period evolved once again as the
revolutionary movement took on a life of its own, becoming much more than a
military conflict for independence, but a social, political, and economic
movement, one that was as individualized as it was a movement for “the people.”
That is what this course site is about. We endeavor you to explore the products
of our hard labor, both individually as students and collaboratively as a class,
to highlight the importance of learning about the role of gender, race, class,
identity, and agency, in the American Revolution.

As you click each button below and explore how some women, Native Americans, and
African Americans understood and engaged with the revolution, we beseech you to
consider the question: “Whose Revolution Was It?”2
