Primary Source Document Analysis Essay Format: ▪ 1000 word minimum. ▪ 1-inch margins all around. ▪ 12-point font. ▪ Times New Roman. ▪ Double-spaced. ▪ No Works Cited Page needed. ▪ MLA Citation. Ex: “Insert quote here” (King 14). ▪ Header example: Only on first page John Doe Mr. Salas HIST 1301 02/27/17 Title of Essay Suggestive Approach: Intro: When trying to develop the structure for an essay always understand the importance and purpose of an introduction. The introduction should provide any background information that sets the stage for you to introduce your thesis statement. If you feel that your document does not provide enough background information on your author or the historical time frame, feel free to consult outside resources such as your textbook, notes, or online material. The thesis should address the purpose of your paper and outline body paragraphs. If you are answering a question you should address that question entirely. Your thesis usually concludes your introduction. Body Paragraphs: When it comes to developing your body paragraphs it is important to think about the context in which your document was written. What was going on in America at that time? Why was it written? By whom? What does the document actually say? Who was the intended audience? What was the intention/goal(s) of the document? What was achieved? What did you find important about the document? Was there anything left unsaid or do you have any questions for the author? If possible be sure to use examples from classroom lectures, your textbook/notes, and of course material from the document because this is supposed to be a primary source analysis. You should only quote from the document that you have decided to analyze. Outro: The purpose of a conclusion for this course will be to actually conclude something. Simply restating your thesis or rephrasing your essay in four sentences or less is redundant. Do not do this. I want you to actually provide conclusive analysis based on the evidence that you have documented throughout your body paragraphs. Some of the questions posed in the “body paragraphs” section could be used to structure your conclusion around. You have to submit the paper electronically (I will not accept a hard copy under any circumstances). You will need to establish an account/profile with Turnitin.com. If you have never used Turnitin before, on their login page there is a hyperlink which asks “Would you like to create your user profile?” Click on it and follow the directions.

Benjamin Banneker’s letter to Thomas Jefferson and its effect in ending slavery

District of Columbia (Pinkney, 22). He became part of this survey after Thomas Jefferson
recommended him to Mr. Andrew Ellicott who was the chief surveyor. In one of his almanacs,
Banneker included anti-slavery poetry, speeches and writings, as a way of championing the
slavery (Pinkney, 20). Jefferson knew Banneker after Banneker wrote him a letter in 1791.

Thomas Jefferson. Banneker represented the intellectual hope of African Americans, and used
this chance to express the need for ending slavery. Banneker, through his letter, made significant
contributions towards the end of slavery.
The period during which this letter was written was one where sl...
