Question: In a short essay, choose any two of the documents from Chapters 8-10 and compare or contrast the ideas of freedom presented in each. In your discussion, use contextual background information from lectures and the textbook to explain how these ideas developed and became part of early American history. (add a short section on themes from either the film “Tecumseh’s Vision” or “The Trail of Tears” in support of your argument).
Essay Guidelines: The essay is to be at least 2 pages (600 words) long, written in 12-point font with standard margins, typed and double-spaced.
(Note: 600 words is a minimal amount, and you may need to write more to get your points across satisfactorily…longer papers are encouraged!).
Organize your paper into a short introduction (with a thesis statement), a body (comparing or contrasting the documents), and a brief conclusion. Also, include a thesis statement (best placed at the end of your introductory paragraph) that sums up the main idea of your paper.
