history question

You will have three short papers due in class.

In 2-3 pages, analyze a Voices of Freedom excerpt. Using your selected primary source excerpt, answer the following questions: What is freedom according the excerpt author? Please be sure to address the historical context of each document excerpt. Specifically, why is this person writing about this topic at this time? How might the historical context shape this person’s conception of freedom?

· Note: One excerpt from chapters 1-6, one excerpt from chapters 7-12, and one excerpt from chapters 13-18.

· The Voices of Freedom section in your textbook is a 2-page spread per chapter. Each page has one excerpt. You only need to pick one excerpt (i.e. one page) per section of chapters. Failure to follow directions will result in a lower grade. YOU CANNOT USE OUTSIDE SOURCES.
