Write a narrative history of the United States from 1607 to 1865 in which you reflect on what you understand to be some of the

nation’s most important developments. This requires that students think about such questions as:
1. What are the most important themes in U.S. history?
2. How should we think about such concepts in U.S. history as race, gender, religion, and ethnicity?
3. How should we understand the development of the relationship between the government and the governed?
4. Although this course ends at 1865, what political, cultural and social phenomena have continued to the present day that had

their origins in the early history of the United States?
These are questions to guide you in writing your essay. They are not a list of questions to be answered and checked off.
Requirements:
1. Paper length: 1000-1250 words (4-5 pages). If you are under or over this limit you will lose points. This is intentionally

specific to encourage you to edit your writing. Every word you write is not necessary. Self-editing is a crucial part of developing

writing skills and is only achievable through practice.
2. Five sources must be cited in your essay.
Three must be primary documents from the weekly required readings.
One must be a scholarly or academic website (not Wikipedia or other encyclopedia websites).
One must be from an academic journal (either online or hardcopy)
3. Citations: I am not a stickler for a certain style of citations. Many historians prefer Turabian or the Chicago Manual of Style.

I have yet to meet a historian who likes the APA format and I prefer that you avoid it. All that I require is that you cite your

sources. Author, Title, Date and page numbers are essential. Publisher and place of publication are important but increasingly less

so. Websites have their own citation requirements. I ask that you cite the exact page of a website that you consulted and not the

website as a whole. I should be able to get there without searching the whole website.
Language must be simple and the essay should not answer just those question as mentioned earlier.
What you are looking for is themes in US history - like influence of religion on American culture, or the relationship between the

people and the government, or development of race relations and the role slavery had in that. These types of things and many

others. You have to decide what you think are the more important themes in US history. Then once you have your theme/s you need to

look at specific historical events and documents that illustrate how the theme you have chosen has developed. There will be many

events that you do not include because they may not be relevant to your particular theme. But you do want to include those major

events that are relevant to your theme.
