You will write an essay answering the question listed below. You must submit it as a double-spaced, 1-inch margins, Times New Roman 12-point font, Microsoft Word document. Submit it to the Canvas Assignments section, uploading the Word file, by 5:00 PM on Thursday May 9. Use ONLY notes on in-class lectures, assigned documents (primary sources), and the textbook. You must cite evidence from at least the textbook and preferably the textbook and primary sources. Cite any information taken from a source, whether quoted word for word or paraphrased. When you cite the textbook, give the author and page number, and when you cite a primary source, give the author’s last name and a short version of the title, just like in a response paper. If I discover (through Turnitin) that an essay uses material from the internet or from other outside sources, it will receive no credit.
