History essay

Analyze the primary source that is at the end of the directions.  You must contextualize the source by relating it to specific themes, trends, people, concepts, laws, events, acts of resistance, and/or ideologies that you have learned from the course material (ranging from chapters 21 - 28).  You do not need to use material from all the chapters (21 - 28) but you do need to synthesize information that you utilize judiciously.  Thus, contextualizing the source with accurate examples is important. 

In addition, remember to explain your arguments and examples.  DO NOT assume I know what you are talking about.  Furthermore, you are required to discuss the significance of the source within the context of American history.  You must also format your response in a narrative (essay style) structure (do not list your responses).  Be sure to use in-text citations when applicable.  

Do not use outside resources.  Only the course textbook and the other course materials located in the modules section is necessary.

It has to be at least two pages long.
