Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Oklahoma/HIST3443 The Frontier Before 1850 (Fall 2023)

This upper-level survey of the early American frontier, 1400-1850, explores comparative colonial conquests, histories of indigenous Americans, and ends with a close look at Indigenous Removal. This mass deportation of Native Nations from the eastern half of the nation into Indian Territory is the foundational story of modern Oklahoma. The Wikipedia assignment, first surveys what is not in Wikipedia around these topics and then identifies articles that need rewriting or creating, will be a center of the course and will be 44% of the course grade.
