Guidelines for the paper have been included in the attached files as well as 5 primary sources that you must use in your writing. For my topic I want you to write from the perspective of a winemaker in Alsace during the French Revolution up to the takeover by Napoleon. the instruction document will help with perspective and formatting, but I want to remind you that I am paying for a doctorate level of writing. I will expect nearly perfect writing with an appropriate amount of sources, proper citations, and good grammar and paragraph structure. please use the 5 primary sources 5 I provided for historical accuracy and please also find and use at least 5 other academic sources to help you build structure for this paper. If you have any other questions or need help please reach out.

Read the attached chapter from Discovering the American Past: “Homogenizing a Pluralistic Nation: Propaganda During World War I.” The chapter will provide you with background about the U.S. government’s efforts to mobilize the American population for the Great War, give you a set of questions to consider, provide a collection of propaganda pieces (the primary source evidence), and guide you through the process of considering the evidence. After reading the chapter, develop an answer to the question, “How did the government attempt to mobilize the opinions of a diverse American public in support of a united war effort?”
For your assignment, you will turn in a one-paragraph typed statement of your answer to that question as well as 3-4 single-spaced pages of your typed notes on the key pieces of evidence from the Evidence section of the chapter that provides evidence of your answer.
You should use your own words to summarize the main ideas that support your answer; for particular key points you may quote short phrases from the primary source evidence using quotation marks and indicating the document title of the quote. This assignment is not a paper or essay; you may use bullet points to present your notes. But the reader of your notes should still be able to follow your ideas. I will walk you through some ideas for organizing your claims and supporting evidence.
The key is that you want to show what evidence from the primary source section of the chapter supports the conclusion that you reached about how the government attempted to mobilize public opinion in favor of World War I.
Your assignment will be graded on the following criteria:
Does the paragraph statement present an answer to the question that fits with the 
historical evidence? 

Does the notes portion of the assignment contain evidence that proves the answer?
Is all 
the relevant evidence considered in the notes?
Do the notes indicate comprehension and analysis of main ideas from the readings?
Remember: notes should capture main ideas and key points – you do not need to re-write the chapter!

Assignment 2 – in 600 words, work through the history of this practice in the world. What do we know of it today? What has history forgot to tell us? Who is left in the shadow, and needs to be recognized? You are required to engage with at least two articles from throughout our semester’s reading (not to overlap with readings that you use in any other assignment). The assignment will be graded on three rubrics: Coherence (30%), ethnographic appropriateness (50%), grammar, spelling, and length (20%).

Assignment #3: Understanding Some Umayyad Dilemmas (due 9/30 before class)
Read posted on Blackboard under Course Materials excerpts 3, 4, 5 and 6 (to the end of p.99) from the texts presented in Gerald Hawting, “Umar II and the Treatment of the Mawali,” in Conversion to Islam in the Premodern Age: A Sourcebook, edited by Nimrod Hurvitz et al., 94-100, Oakland: California University Press, 2020.
Two of the excerpts come from Al-Tabari, one from Ibn Abd al-Hakam, and one from Al-Baladhuri, all historians of the early Abbasid period. The events they were describing occurred about a century before their birth, at the time of the eighth Umayyad caliph Umar Ibn Abd al-Aziz (d. 720) and the Governor of Iraq, Hajjaj Ibn Yusuf (d. 714).
Based on a careful reading of the excerpts and on the readings, podcast, and class discussion about the Umayyads, write a short piece addressing all or some of these questions: (1) What do the excerpts tell us about the dilemmas the mawali posed for the Umayyads? (2) What kinds of burdens were the mawali subjected to? (3) What kinds of visions of Islam we see competing, according to these excerpts, and what kinds of arguments were the proponents of these visions making? (4) Does it matter that the authors of these accounts were writing a century and more after the events they describe?
