Project Summary: NEED DONE IN 24 HOURS BEFORE 12:00PM EST 06/23/2016. Your final essay is due by noon on Thursday, June 23. Select one of the questions below and write a paper that is three to four typed, double-spaced pages with standard font and margins. You should draw on what weve learned in Units Five through Eight and you should provide plenty of specific examples from the readings as evidence. Use of outside sources is not prohibited, but you should primarily utilize information from your textbook and from our discussion forum. If you do consult any outside sources, they MUST be properly cited to avoid violating the academic integrity policy. If you do not know how to do this, please check with me individually. Once you have written your essay in one of the supported formats (preferably .doc or .docx), you should submit it via the assignment link below, where it will be vetted for academic integrity by SafeAssign. Be sure to clearly indicate which question you are answering. Ideals versus Reality. During the American Revolution, the United States was founded upon ideals of liberty and justice and the premise that all men are created equal -- but were those ideals always reflected in the reality of daily life in America? Why or why not? And what were some of the ways in which people struggled to bring those ideals into reality? Your essay should focus on U.S. history from the late 1700s through the Civil War and it should provide plenty of specific examples as evidence. A House Divided. From the time the nation was founded, the issue of slavery and its expansion threatened to tear apart the newly established United States. How did sectional strife over this issue evolve and intensify from the late 1700s until the Civil War began? In crafting your response, you should consider why the issue was so divisive, the kinds of compromises struck to alleviate tensions, and the reasons those compromises were no longer working by the 1850s.
