What has changed (politically, economically, or socially)

Work332

At the end of each chronological unit, you will write a short formal essay (700 to 1000 words) that connects the readings to the in-class lectures/discussions and answers one of the following course questions: 

What has changed (politically, economically, or socially) over time during this chronological period? How does the content of this unit either support or refute the traditional Eurocentric narrative of US History? How are the identities of the people changing and what is influencing these changes? Who is in charge, how are they maintaining power and how are people resisting and rebelling against that power? You will have 5 unit summative essays. You will need to respond to each of these questions at least once. All essays should have a concise argument that addresses the chosen question and uses evidence from the assigned readings, class lectures, and discussions to support the argument. The conclusion should include a connection of the course material to current issues in the United States today.
