Description

This assignment is my history final, but I have an overwhelming amount of work that I just do not have time to sit down and do it. The due date is not too far away and I am asking if you can complete it for a reasonable price. I would like to ask if the notes can be sent by this Thursday, 5/18, and the paper preferably before June. The paper should not consist of extremely intricate words and should not be a masterpiece for my teacher is down to earth and can catch onto things if not taken care of, just enough for an A. The grading rubric is below as well as the project description (and actual due dates) so I ask that you do your best. Thank you very much!


U.S. History Term Paper Assignment

A six to seven page (typed, double-spaced, one inch margins on all four sides, 12 point, using New Times Roman style font which does not include pictures, maps, charts, title page, works sited page, etc.) term paper on a controversial person of major significance in the history of the United States. You will complete and turn in two items: a notes manuscript and the final draft paper itself. Both are to be turned in electronically using Word or a PDF file.

Notes Manuscript This will contain all of the research material (and then some) that you will use to write your paper. To create it you need to consult a minimum of five different sources, two of which must be books (these books can come from the internet), and three of which from other sources. You must draw heavily from all your sources. You are required to use our school’s library database for at least two of your sources. Click on the link at the end of these directions. For each source, you will create a typed set of notes, starting with a proper bibliographic citation and containing every quote, paraphrase, fact, or interpretation that you think you might use in your final draft, along with a page reference. (An abbreviated example is viewed below.) A six-to-seven page paper will require about twelve to fourteen pages of notes. Research your topic thoroughly and prepare your notes manuscript carefully—it is the “raw material” needed to write the paper, and I will consult it as I read your final draft paper itself. Use your textbook as a guide, not a source. Do not use Wikipedia as a source but it can be used as a guide.

Due Date: 5-18


The Paper Itself Here you take your research material and craft it into an argument that answers the question you have been given. The paper should contain parenthetical citations and a “works cited” page (bibliography) prepared in accordance with MLA guidelines. (go to the Cite Your Sources link at the Milken library site. also consult citefast.com) This page is not part of the six to seven page requirement. There is information about how to do this on the school library website. More information is on the second page.

Due Date: 6-2

Notes Manuscript (Abbreviated Example)

Standage, Tom. The Victorian Internet: The Remarkable Story of the Telegraph and the Nineteenth-Century’s On-Line Pioneers. New York: Walker and Co., 1998. (Notice the indentation and double spacing)

“The fame of the telegraph took a giant leap when it was used to announce the birth of Queen Victoria’s second son, Alfred Ernest at Windsor on August 6, 1844.” (49) police arrested a criminal suspect by using the telegraph to alert Baltimore forces that he would be arriving on a train from Washington D.C. (53) both Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie worked as telegraph messenger boys (64)
Crimean War first to be covered by telegraph, Bucharest line extended under the sea, meant ship departures/destinations could no longer be shared with newspapers, commanders unhappy that leaders second-guessed them, horrible conditions of the common soldiers could no longer be hidden and were reported by the press (154-58)

The in text citation in the final draft should be seen as (Standage 53) If there is no author to an article, the in text citation should be seen as ( “The Telegraph” ) and it should be listed in the works cited page as “The Telegraph Through History” Gale Net http:www. Galenet.org.

The Assignment:
Hero
, Villain, or Victim?

Your assignment is to assess the person you have been given in light of all three of the categories above. Your paper must make clear why the person is regarded as controversial and praised by some (hero) while abhorred by others (villain). How is your subject a victim? In your paper’s conclusion you should offer your own assessment; villain, victim, or hero. Choose only one and back up your statements. Acquire a decent general understanding of the person’s acts and era before beginning your note-taking—your textbook (or any general U.S. history text) is a good place to start. Remember, your text (or any textbook used) is to be considered a guide, not a source. Also, do not use Wikipedia as a source, only a guide.
(Advise: color code in your notes manuscript the hero-villain-victim information using three different colors. That will make for easier reference)

Malcolm, X. The autobiography of Malcolm X. Ballantine Books, 2015.
‘Ostensibly, freedom for African-Americans came with the end of the Civil War in 1865, but the
struggle to attain equality persisted well into the next century and continues today. Despite legal
and political gains made during the period known as Reconstruction (1865– 1877), freed slaves
and their children suffered grave blows to their rights in the last decades of the nineteenth
century, when the North ceased its supervision of the South and the United States Supreme
Court, in the case ofPlessy v. Ferguson, ruled that segregation, in the form of "separate but
equal" public facilities, was constitutional (4)
‘The African-American community rallied around several different, even contradictory,
strategies to protest the political order in which they were discriminated against and even
murdered because of the color of their skin. Booker T. Washington (1856–1915) encouraged
blacks to gain political power by earning the respect of white people through hard work and
humble conduct. W.E.B. DuBois (1868–1963) demanded political empowerment. Marcus
Garvey (1887–1940) urged a return to Africa, contending that black people should rely upon
their own unity and create their own means of empowerment, rather than working through white
channels of power. Garvey influenced many African- Americans, among them Earl Little,

Surname 2

Malcolm X’s father, a preacher who spread Garvey’s ideas in his small Michigan community.
Throughout his childhood, Malcolm X, then known as Malcolm Little, was exposed by his father
to the ideas of the defiant and fiercely nationalistic Garvey. During the Civil Rights Movement
of the 1960s, Malcolm X acceded to international prominence himself. His were and continue to
be contrasted with those of his contemporary, Martin Luther King, Jr., although Malcolm X’s
militancy continues to be misunderstood and overstated by many. Malcolm X’s demand for
African-American unity and self-determination, both in his lifetime and in his autobiography,
greatly influenced the debate over race in the United States. He is credited as a spiritual father of
the Black Panther Party and the Black Power movement, both of which arose in the late 1960s,
when the limitations of more moderate approaches became apparent. The Autobiography of
Malcolm X has changed the lives of many people, black and white, and shaped the perspectives
of many more. Despite the changes that have occurred in the last quarter century,
The Autobiography of Malcolm X continues to be a relevant work. Its descriptions of the racism
that troubles the United States are still accurate, as are its discussion of the issues of crime,
desolation, and moral poverty that racism inevitably spawns. (4)
‘Malcolm X is born as Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska. The Midwest, during this period, is
permeated by discrimination and racially-motivated violence that culminates with the murder of
his father and the institutionalization of his mother. After living in a Michigan detention home
and completing the eighth grade, Malcolm moves to Boston, Massachusetts, to live with his halfsister Ella. In Boston he quickly becomes involved in the urban nightlife, and passes for much
older than he is, wearing flashy clothes, gambling, drinking, doing drugs, and dating an older
white woman, Sophia. Malcolm finds work on the railways, which takes him to New York,
where he settles permanently as one of Harlem’s hustlers (5)

Malcolm’s various jobs include running numbers, selling drugs, steering white people to
black brothels, and committing armed robbery. When his life becomes too dangerous in Harlem,
he retreats back to Boston, where he becomes a house burglar and is eventually arrested. In
prison, Malcolm transforms himself, converting to the brand of Islam promoted by the Nation of
Islam, which has already converted a number of Malcolm’s siblings. Inspired by the faith,
Malcolm stops using drugs, reads voraciously, prays, studies English and Latin, and joins the
prison debate team. When he gets paroled, Malcolm moves in with his brother Wilfred and
becomes very active in the Detroit temple of the Nation of Islam, receiving permission to drop
his "white" last name for the symbolic "X." (5).
Malcolm X soon meets the Nation’s leader, Elijah Muhammad, and rises quickly from
the rank of temple assistant in Detroit to the Nation’s first National Minister. Malcolm X
becomes known throughout the United States, even outside of Muslim circles, as a fiery advocate
for black unity and militancy. His power grows so much, however, that he is suspended from the
Nation of Islam, whose higher-ups resent and fear him despite his allegiance to the cause (5).
Facing death threats and eviction from his home, Malcolm uses his fame to found his own
organization, Muslim Mosque, Inc., which he envisions as being more politically active than the
Nation of Islam. At this time, Malcolm visits the Middle East and Africa, where he discovers
"true" Islam, which contrasts considerably with the version of Islam he has been taught and has
been teaching. At the end of his life, Malcolm X is an international figure, welcomed by foreign
leaders and committed to Islam as a religion that can better the racial problems of the United
States. He is assassinated in 1965 (5).

Tyner, James. The geography of Malcolm X: Black radicalism and the remaking of American
space. Routledge, 2013.
‘An enigmatic and controversial figure, the legacy of Malcom X continues to evoke
intense debate over the meaning of justice and humanity. ‘We want freedom, justice and
equality’, Malcom X wrote. ‘We want recognition and respect as human beings’ Malcom X was
clearly a product and a producer of his times. Malcom X also represented both a continuation
with earlier radical black intellectuals as well as a transitional figure between the counterculture
and youth movements of the later 1960s and early 1970s. Indeed, as the Civil Rights Movement
shifted in the mid-1960s, demanding economic equality as well as social justice, scholars and
federal officials attempted to untangle the threads of poverty, race, and gender; much of this
scholarship began to focus on the core themes that were recurrent in the speeches and the
writings of Malcom X (2).
