United States History

United States History

In this essay, I want you to think and write like a historian.  Choose a topic you have read about in the textbook and lecture notes, and write about its importance to the 20th Century.  In no less than 550 words, use the textbook and the corresponding lectures to construct a larger paper addressing the significance of the event you chose and why you think it is important.

You can only use the following sources, and you must use both:

1) The presentation slides and notes HIST 103 Lecture 2.ppt 

HIST 103 Lecture 1.pptx

2) The textbook (American Horizons with Documents, Vol. II (links to the bookstore website)  (Links to an external site.)

  • EDITION:   2ND
  • PUBLISHER:   OXF
  • ISBN:   9780190461058

Everything we have covered so far in these materials is allowed to be used, included primary source images, interactive maps, and graphs. But it is very important to note that you must use these sources in a meaningful way is required to earn full credit for this paper. Essays that use sources other than what is allowed will not receive credit.

Remember to clearly state your thesis, directly address your topic, and use the sources above as evidence to advance your argument. A paper that simply discusses the topic without delving into significant issues will not suffice. Critical thinking, analysis based on the available facts, and execution of the assignment according to the guidelines are what I am looking for in this writing assignment.
