Papers should be between 6-8 pages in length. Goals of the assignment are to demonstrate that you can create a research paper based on primary and secondary sources and synthesize this material to present a cohesive answer to a question.

The final paper requires a minimum of 2 primary sources and 3 secondary sources.

Students need to use pagination citation throughout their papers to show how and where they used their sources. Example: “The War of 1812 was started by America.” (Kucsan, 2009) or (the authors last name). Now if you are using more than one article by the same author then you need to put in the title of the article…such as (Kucsan, 2009, Consequences of the War of 1812). If you are using 2 different works with authors of the same last name then do the following; (Kucsan, P, 2009) Just put in the first initial.

Finally, remember that all papers need an introduction, body, and conclusion. Every essay needs a thesis statement and the last page of your assignment should be a reference page where you will provide your complete references in APA style like you practiced throughout the semester.

Advantages of the Northern States over the Southern States
The Civil War is among the most horrific incidents that America has ever experienced in
history. The war emerged due to several causes where most of them revolved around the
existence of differences between the northern and the southern regions. Among several aspects
that indicates that the two regions had several differences, one of them involves the fact that as
the South were in great need of the slaves to work on their farms, the North made more effort to

trading routes for the South, strong transportation system, as well as the strong support from
citizens.
