Yet, this celebratory story of the America′s origins, whether intentional or not, ignores neglects the scope of the war. Both Indians and African slaves were pulled into the conflict, with each having to navigate a conflict, which by all accounts, was a civil war between British subjects. Use at least 5 specific examples from at least 3 primary sources from Folder 13 to answer and analyze the following question Choose two of the four groups: 1) British Loyalists, 2) American Patriots, 3) Indians and 4) African slaves. Answer the following question for the two groups you have chosen: In what ways did the Revolution present both new challenges, but also new opportunities for everyone living in colonial British America? How did groups with such diverse individual interests navigate the war and come to a decision about their best course of action and why? *Please be aware that the beginning of each document contains annotation (historical context). This is not a part of the actual document. Prompt #2: As Anglo Americans pushed west onto Indian lands, white settlers and Indians ran headlong into conflict with each other. Each saw the world, themselves and each other in very different ways. These differences were cultural, economic, and political and would eventually lead to wars, massacres, and removal. Use at least 5 specific examples from at least 3 primary sources from Folder 15 and Folder 16 to answer and analyze the following question: Explain which TWO of the following areas impacted White-Indian relations the MOST: 1) Land (economic), 2) identity (culture), or 3) governing system (politics). And in what ways did these two areas influence how both white settlers and Indians responded to their growing conflicts? *Please be aware that the beginning of each document contains annotation (historical context). This is not a part of the actual document. Prompt #3: The Market Revolution of the early 19th century fundamentally changed American society and culture. As with any major economic shift, moving to a market oriented economic system based on the selling and buying of consumable goods, created a rise in the standard of living, but also catalyzed social upheavals & dislocations. In the early 19th century, this manifested in controversial social issues like immigration and gender relations. It raised questions and conflicts over who should be considered American and who should be granted full rights and freedoms in the fledgling American nation. Use at least 5 specific examples from at least 3 primary sources from Folder 18 and Folder 19 to answer and analyze the following question: In what ways did both Anglo American women and immigrants challenge who could be considered an American with full rights and freedoms? What was the basis of their claims to freedom? And what was the basis of opposition to their claims?

A portion of this course asks you to write a paper that gives a small taste of what historians actually do. The field of history is not solely about memorizing names and dates, rather it is an ongoing conversation. It is a dynamic field in which you can be an active participant. The major components of the field of history focus on constructing an argument, researching supporting evidence, and presenting that evidence in a concise manner. An historian will make an argument about a topic and support her/his argument utilizing primary source or secondary source documents (i.e. evidence). You will be required to write a 4-5-page (1200-1500 words) paper on an individual slave’s experience. This assignment will expose you to several aspects in the discipline of history such as primary sources, citations, etc . . .
The Paper  must be submitted using the link on MyCourses. An extension will not be given except for the most extreme circumstance, and must be arranged well in advance of the due date with your instructor’s permission. This means that the due date is firm for the entire class; late submissions will result in an automatic zero. 
The institution of African American slavery defined early American history, and the ramifications of the institution permeate in many ways into modern discourse. Understanding the life of a slave, from the perspective of a slave, is an extremely valuable exercise for better understanding the institution. Every element of the slave’s life was owned and controlled by the slave owner. Historian Walter Johnson argued that the American institution of slavery was built “out of sun, water, and soil; animal energy, human labor, and mother wit; grain, flesh, and cotton; pain, hunger and fatigue; blood, milk, semen, and shit.” In order for you to better understand the life of a slave, you are required to write a 4-5-page (1200-1500 words) narrative paper utilizing the North American Slave Narratives database: http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/texts.html. The North American Slave Narratives database is produced by the University of North Carolina, and it is a collection of African American slave narratives from individuals who lived in the 18th and 19th century. You should find an individual’s story that interests you, and develop a paper about their experience. You should be able to construct a biography answering questions about the individual. Why and how did they write the narrative? Where did they grow up? What was their occupation? What was their educational background, if any? How did they write about their experience as a slave? How did they portray their owners? Furthermore, you should grapple with some larger issues in the field of history, such as the reliability of the sources, who wrote the narrative, is their any type of bias present in the narrative, can the source be trusted, etc.? You do not need to engage with each one of these questions, but I expect you to fully analyze the life of the individual you chose and to situate their story into the larger lessons of the course. This paper should reflect your understanding and knowledge of this topic from the course thus far, and you should be able to speak about specific historic instances that support the narrative you chose.
