Description

You should submit a short essay (approximately 1200 words) that examines the assigned sources. Specifically, you should analyze the primary documents (texts that were written during the periods we are studying) within the broader context of the time. You should read the chapter(s) from Foner’s Give Me Liberty! before you read the documents.

+ Your essay should address:

What do the sources reveal about the period we are studying? What insight does each document provide? In other words, how does it relate to the textbook readings for the week? Try to place the different sources “in conversation” with each other to understand a time period (i.e. the Revolutionary Era). The theme of this class is the “boundaries of freedom.” You should constantly ask yourself what the course readings reveal about the boundaries of freedom. You should refer to the questions that I post in each folder to help guide you as you are reading and writing – though you do not need to answer them all in your essay. Additionally, the selections from Voices of Freedom have discussion questions that should be helpful, too.

Your responses should include SPECIFIC historical examples (arguments, people, documents, events) to illustrate your points (and to prove that you have read the textbook, the Power Points, and all of the primary sources). Use examples from ALL of the appropriate course documents to construct a full, detailed response.

+ Required Textbook: ( i dont have it so please make sure that you have it before we work togerther)

1) Eric Foner, Give Me Liberty!: An American History (4th edition)

2) Eric Foner, Voices of Freedom: A Documentary History, vol. 2 (4th edition).

+ For example, in this essay, you should engage with each of the following sources:

Foner, Ch. 15, 16, 17
VOF 96, The Mississippi Black Code
VOF 101, Chief Joseph, "An Indian's View”

VOF 102, Sumner on Social Darwinism

VOF 112 Aguinaldo on American Imperialism

Slavery by Another Name (film) Watch first 35 mins


In the White Man’s Image (film) Watch minutes 20 through 45


+ Audience:

Your reader is a thoughtful and intelligent person, but not necessarily an expert, who has read all of the assigned readings closely.

+ Format:

Your essays should be typed, double-spaced, provide numbered pages, have 1-inch margins, and have an 11-12-point font. They do not need cover pages. These must be submitted as .doc/x or .pdf files.

+ Citation requirements:
When you are referencing the ideas of others, you must use in-text citations. When you are referencing the words of others, you must use quotation marks AND citations. A bibliography at the end does not fulfill this requirement. Using anyone else’s ideas without crediting them is plagiarism – and will result in failure of the assignment (or worse). Your essay(s) should reflect YOUR thinking, but should draw evidence (proof that your ideas are correct) from the assigned sources.

When citing the textbook, list the title in italics and page number(s):

Ex) (Give Me Liberty, pp. 468-469)

When citing a primary source, list the first two or three words of the title and page number(s),if available:

Ex) (The Mississippi Black Code, p. 5)

Ex) (Slavery by Another Name)

*Do not use Voices of Freedom as your citation. It will not be clear to me which document you are referencing.

Introduction
The revolution era covers and talks about American Revolution era. This period takes
through the year 1763 and during this time the colonies were established so as to a situation that
they were able to become a distinct nation. The Americans were different people in the year
1763. The main reason for this is because of the physical separation they had from the mother
country. The frontier environment changes the way people think and this is much shown in the
American history in the 19th century. The practices that were accepted to be usual in the home
country were not able to work in the American. Also, their skills were also undervalued in the
Europe countries and this leads to self-sufficiency within the American colonists. The life’s
which was lived by the Americans were very different from the life’s lived by people in the
streets of London. This means that the life in the bushes and forests of the Americans seemed
very different from the life of the Europeans in the alleys and streets of London and other Britain
countryside areas.

There is nothing which is more fundamental to the American history of a free nation.
Freedom was the reason why the Americans fought the civil war. They also fought a cold war in
order to free the world and lastly they also fought world war two to enjoy their freedom. The
black Americans had no voice when they were planning the exhibit and so many of them were
even cynical about it (Allen, Linda, pp 211-221, 2014). The story about the American Freedom
suggests the idea of the freedom found in the United States and this is from the Revolution era
till today. Due to these, the meaning of freedom is the main subject or the persisting conflict
which is in the American history. There are three major issues which talk about the freedom
which has revolved around 8in the past of the Americans. These issues include the social
conditions which make the freedom to exist, the freedom boundaries, and lastly the definition of
freedom. Declaration of the Independence lists liberty which is among the mankind’s inalienable
rights.
Freedom has been a battleground all through the history of America. There are efforts
which are there in order to delimit the freedom. The master’s freedom was rested on the reality
of his slave and also the overhyped autonomy of men who were in the subsidiary position. In
order to have this freedom, there has been so much fight to have it. These fights include the
racial minorities, women rights, workers’ rights and also other groups who pushed for the
freedom to be granted. This means that the sense of freedom has both been transformed and
deepened. Revolution era gave birth to a clear definition of the American nationhood as well as a
national mission which continues until today. Revolution also came up with the determined inner
illogicality of the American freedom and this is by giving birth to a republic which is oratorically
founded on liberty but which is also resting economically in a very large measure on slavery.
Slavery had a big influence in the definition of American ...
