SCOPE: Choose ONE of the following questions and write a coherent, well-argued essay. Answers must be typed, free of grammatical infelicities, and no more than 4 pages, double-spaced
A) Why did the British lose the American Revolution? Discuss the advantages/disadvantages each side held, their preconceptions going in, and the decisions made on the field, 1775-1781.
B) Contrast the Federalist and Republican attitudes toward the national government, American society in general, and the Constitution. Include information on differences between the leaders and the
supporters of the two parties.
C) Compare the lives, attitudes, and presidencies of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. In what ways were these two men similar? Different? Who was the more effective leader (be sure to define
“effective”)? Defend your choice!
EXPECTATIONS: I expect your essay to answer the question(s), basically. Look over your notes, consult your book again, and sit down without ANY materials and write an outline for your essay. Create a
thesis statement – an answer to the question(s) – and consider what points, facts, or ideas support your argument. Put those points into your outline. Once the outline is finished, write the essay and put it away
for a day or two. Come back to it and eliminate errors in grammar, spelling, argument, and logic. Try reading the essay out loud – does it make sense? Fix it! Look at the Style Sheet and Grading Rubric I
included on D2L. It offers some helpful hints on grammar and common mistakes students make when writing historical essays.
ANOTHER REMINDER: This is an essay, not a research paper. I do not require or expect you to do any outside research, but be advised that if you use any source in addition to your textbook – or you
quote or paraphrase your textbook – footnoting and bibliography rules apply. See style sheet for considerations. ALL DOCUMENTS MUST BE SAVED IN WORD FORMAT (.doc or .docx).
