Discussion Forum
The Civil War legally ended slavery and brought in the Era of
Reconstruction. Reconstruction is an example of the notion that
it was easier to change political institutions than cultural
assumptions related to slavery. Discuss how Reconstruction
reflects the nation’s attempt to promote justice and healing.
Discuss specific policies of the state and federal governments
relating to the end of slavery and the new social status of many
former slaves, as well as how society accepted and implemented
(or failed to accept and implement) those changes.
Historical Perspective (essay)
For the final Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about a
person or an event in a period of U.S. history up to
Reconstruction that is relevant to your major area of study or of
interest to you. You will write about this person or event from
the perspective of another historical personality who lived at the
same time as the person or event you are going to describe.
For your historical personality, try to select someone from an
under-represented population (examples of possible
perspectives include that of Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, or
Sojourner Truth). This analysis is to make you think about how
events/people’s actions were interpreted at the time.
There are three Portfolio Project Milestones due in Modules 2,
4, and 7. Visit each Module folder for full details on those
assignments.
Week 2: Portfolio Description Posting (5 Points)
Week 4: Declare Portfolio Topic (35 Points)
Week 7: Outline (10 Points)
Key Points::
Remember that you will be writing from the perspective of a
historical person about another person or an event from a period
of U.S. history up to Reconstruction. From your historical
person’s perspective, provide a thorough summary of the person
or event you’ve chosen to write about, including the incidents
that took place and any key individuals involved or affected.
Address the general importance of the person or event in the
context of U.S. history.
Now, explain specifically how the person or event changed
“your” daily life—“you” being the historical persona you have
adopted.
Think long-term: How will the person or the event you are
describing make a long-term impact in the lives of people who
are in the under-represented group to which your historical
person/perspective belongs?
Paper Requirements:
Your paper must be four to six pages, not including the required
references and title pages.
Use at least five sources, not including the textbook. Include a
scholarly journal article. Include at least one
primary
source from those identified in the syllabus.
Definition of a Primary Source
: A primary source is any source, document or artifact that was
created at the time of the event. It was usually created by
someone who witnessed the event, lived during or even shortly
afterwards, or somehow would have first-hand knowledge of
that event. A secondary source, by contrast, is written by a
historian or someone writing about the event after it happened.
Have an introduction and strong thesis statement. Make use of
support and examples supporting your thesis
Finish with a forceful conclusion reiterating your main idea.
Format your paper according to the
CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
.
