The Civil War (1861-1865), 13 lessons. X. Political and Financial "Reconstruction" (1866-1879), 10 lessons. XI. Civil service reform, tariff and anti-monopoly (1880-1897), 9 lessons. XII. The rise and regulation of "big business" (1898-1916), 18 lessons. XIII. America and the war against Germany (1914-1919), 8 lessons. Semester reviews and final examinations, 11 lessons.
