The parameters for your response are as follows: The response must be between 850-1150 words. Students that fall short of the required word count will receive a 10% deduction.You must cite a minimum of 3 scholarly sources-- news media articles do not count as scholarly sources, only peer reviewed journals, books, etc.You must cite all sources clearly and consistently, regardless of the citation style you choose be sure to keep it consistent.You must include a works cited (not part of the word count) at the end.You response should include considerable reflection on the pertinent course terms and concepts, failing to reference these consistently throughout will result in a deduction. Week Two Prompt We have stated that our primary theoretical framework in this course in Intersectionality, which states that we should not view identity as 'either/or' but rather 'both/and' across different categories. From this point of view, we must work hard analytically to understand an individual's 'Standpoint' on the basis of their relationship to categories of identity. Selecting at least two of the major categories of your own identity, discuss how those categories have intersected to shape your own life experiences, and how your experiences may be similar or different from others on the basis of one or both of those categories. A good example if Sojourner Truth's speech "Ain't I a Woman," in which she points out that her status as a woman of color means she is not included in many of the conversations her fellow white feminists were having at the time. You could write the paper with female veteran being the categories that intersect!!

Discussion #2: Reconstructing the Nation The Civil War ended on April 9, 1865, and the original goal of the North to preserve the Union was accomplished. The task that lay before Lincoln and Congress was to reintegrate the rebellious Southern states into the Union. For many white southerners "Reconstruction was a vicious and destructive experience - a period when vindictive Northerners inflicted humiliation and revenge on a pro-state South." In order to prepare for this discussion forum: Review and identify the relevant sections of Chapters 17  and 18 that support your discussion. Review and identify relevant information on the linked PBS American Experience site, Reconstruction The Second Civil War White Men Unite State by State: Reconstruction timeline This link will direct you to the full transcript of the Wade-Davis Bill.  What does it suggest about the prevailing Reconstruction sentiments in Congress?  Read the section in Chapter 17 which discusses the Black Codes, and the linked site on the Black Codes.  Read the linked document, a selection from The Ills of the South, written by Charles H. Okten, a Mississippi Baptist preacher, and schoolteacher, in which he describes conditions for Black Americans under the sharecropping and crop-lien system.                                                                                                                                                                            After you have completed your readings, post your response to ONE of the following questions: Were the Black Codes another form of slavery?    Based on Okten's statements, discuss how the sharecropping/crop lien system created a vicious cycle.  Was this system simply another version of slavery?  Why or why not.    Consider the following statement:  "The persistence of racism in both the North and the South lay at the heart of Reconstruction's failure." Agree or disagree, and explain your position.
