What to Expect -- Week 5 (Monday 19 July -- Friday 23 July)

The British Museum, near Astor College

The final week! We will have one last class on Monday, 19 July during which we will discuss the American Civil War. As the war rages, we will also look at foreign relaitons and diplomacy. We will see how England's decision not to intervene for the CSA sealed the fate of the rebelling states and ensured the survival of the United States

Then the following day, Tuesday 20 July, we will take our final exam. The next two days will be free days -- to be spent packing and trying to cram in all the places you hadn't visited yet. Places that may include shops, bookstores, plays, and nearby attractions such as the British Library, the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Musuem, Shakespeare's Globe, Regent's Park, or the London zoo. On Friday, 23 July, we leave London for Atlanta.
