Compose a thorough and carefully considered response to one (1) of the following questions, making careful and specific use of the lectures and the readings. I would urge you to spend a few minutes outlining your answer before you begin writing. <\/p>\n
1) The narrative of American history to 1877 is punctuated by moments of soaring rhetoric that offer a vision of what the nation stood for, and what it might become. But very often the reality failed to match the lofty pronouncements offered by the nation\u2019s leaders. Write an essay that considers both the promises and the failures of three such periods: the drafting of the Constitution; the era of westward expansion; and Reconstruction. People, events, and ideas you might consider include (but are not limited to): the Bill of Rights; Thomas Jefferson\u2019s \u201cEmpire for Liberty\u201d; providentialism; the 13th-15th amendments; and Jim Crow laws.<\/p>\n
2) As a prominent scholar of the United States, you have been asked to deliver a lecture addressing one of the central questions in American history: how did the United States unravel less than seventy-five years after its founding? In thinking about your talk, make sure that the text of your lecture considers (but is not necessarily limited to) at least some of the following issues: colonial American society; slavery; the American Revolution; the Constitution and the creation of the United States; Southern agriculture; industrialization and the Market Revolution; territorial expansion; sectionalism; party politics; and presidential elections. Prepare your lecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
