history paper

Choose one prompt and answer it in a short essay of 250-500 words. The essay should fully consider the question(s) and should pull from the course readings, as well as your own experiences and opinions, if applicable. Show me that you've really thought about your topic and that you have a full understanding of this issue. Your essay should have both a strong introduction (with a thesis statement that clearly states your argument) and a strong conclusion. 1. There's no question that the outbreak of World War II significantly changed the lives of Americans during the war years and after. In this essay, explore how the war years altered the United States from the Depression-ravaged country it had been before the war to the reinvigorated nation in the years after. 2. Over the past two semesters, we have talked about the beginnings of slavery in North America, through the abolition of slavery, Reconstruction, and the rise of segregation. As the course comes to a close, it's fitting that we discuss the dawning of the Civil Rights era. Discuss the push toward civil rights and how you see the legacy of African-American history asserting itself in these events.
