Since history is, in essence, a story and not a series of random, disconnected facts,
students should be able to transform the information covered in this class into a
narrative form that articulates something about our nation’s past. Students will submit a
5-7 page essay related to the material covered in the class. The essay will be
comprehensive in nature, and students are expected to incorporate information
gathered through a variety of different sources. The paper will count 100 points toward
the final grade. The paper will be typed and double-spaced and in the proper
Chicago/Turabian format and include a works cited page with a minimum of five
sources.
Discuss the changing role of the federal government in American history since 1865.
What circumstances brought about the changes in government’s role, and what
movements and programs were created to deal with those circumstances? How have
the American people viewed their government, and where are we today regarding this
subject?
Your essay should be a minimum of 5-7 pages. This page count does not include
any cover sheet.
2. Your essay must be formatted using 1” margins for all margins (top, bottom, left

Background: One of President Andrew Jackson’s more controversial moves was to defy a Supreme Court ruling that the U.S. government had no right to interfere in a sovereign Indian Nation, by forcing the Cherokee Indians to move to Oklahoma. Although this was an illegal act, President Jackson held a great deal of power among supporters in Congress and in the public, allowing him to get away with forcing the Cherokee out anyway. To make his case to his supporters, President Jackson issued a press-release about his decision.
How to Prepare for this assignment: Read about the Trail of Tears (and Age of Jackson) in your textbook, and see the relevant lecture. This context is important for the quality of your reply.
Your task: Read the text of this message, focusing especially upon the bolded text towards the end. Then answer the three questions and upload them to this assignment:
—————————————————————————————-
MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES ON INDIAN REMOVAL
President Andrew Jackson
It gives me pleasure to announce to Congress that the benevolent policy of the Government, steadily pursued for nearly thirty years, in relation to the removal of the Indians beyond the white settlements is approaching to a happy consummation. Two important tribes have accepted the provision made for their removal at the last session of Congress, and it is believed that their example will induce the remaining tribes also to seek the same obvious advantages.
The consequences of a speedy removal will be important to the United States, to individual States, and to the Indians themselves. The advantages which it promises to the Government are the least of its recommendations. It puts an end to all possible danger of collision between the authorities of the General and State Governments on account of the Indians. It will place a dense and civilized population in large tracts of country now occupied by a few savage hunters. (……) It will separate the Indians from immediate contact with settlements of whites; free them from the power of the States; enable them to pursue happiness in their own way and under their own rude institutions; will retard the progress of decay, which is lessening their numbers, and perhaps cause them gradually, under the protection of the Government and through the influence of good counsels, to cast off their savage habits and become an interesting, civilized, and Christian community.
(…..)
Rightly considered, the policy of the General Government toward the red man is not only liberal, but generous. He is unwilling to submit to the laws of the States and mingle with their population. To save him from this alternative, or perhaps utter annihilation, the General Government kindly offers him a new home, and proposes to pay the whole expense of his removal and settlement.

Your task: Read the text of this message, focusing especially upon the bolded text towards the end. Then answer the three questions and upload them to this assignment:
1. Google the “Cherokee Nation History.” In 1830, what was the Cherokee Nation like (where was it, how many Cherokee were there, did they have a governmental system and civilization of any kind, or were they, as Jackson noted, simply “a few savage hunters?”. Be sure to cite what website(s) you are using in your answer.
2. What did Jackson mean, do you think, when he said the Cherokee could over time cast off their “savage habits and become an interesting, civilized, and Christian community?”
3. Why do you think President Jackson used the kind of language that you looked at in the two questions above in his Message to the American People when he decided to force the Cherokee to move?

Directions for Option B, Museum Topic:
The Google Site should have 1,000 words of text, roughly a 3-4 double-spaced paper. Make sure there is a Works Cited page (which does not count with the page length). Make sure to cite or leave a footnote on any information that is not your own work. Direct quotes and paraphrased sections from the resources need to be cited. It is ok to have a lot of citations. More citations the better. When in doubt, cite it out.
Students should complete the following steps for the Museum Topic Website:
Use your Outline / Rough Draft as the foundation for creating the Museum Topic Website.
Include at least two research article / book / approved website into the Museum Topic Website.
Include a Work Cited page.
Make sure to clearly cite the research materials in the Museum Topic Website.
Use the Citation Guide below to assist you.
Have Fun 🙂

Citations
In academic writing it is important that citations are properly given as a way to: 1) give credit to the original author’s ideas and 2) to inform the reader where the information came from. Here are some examples of properly citing from a textbook:
Direct quote:
“About 12,000 years ago (around 10,000 BCE), a fundamental shift occurred in the way humans produced food for themselves—what some scholars have called an agricultural, or ecological, revolution” (Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, 22).
As you can see, there are quotation marks (“”) around the material taken straight from the textbook, Worlds Together, Worlds Apart; which is followed by the textbook title in abbreviated format and the page number from where the quote can be found. If the material being quoted is more than two sentences, then the writer should paraphrase the material in their own words while still providing proper citation.
Indirect (paraphrased) quote:
According to the textbook, around 12,000 years ago a shift occurred in the ways humans produced food, which is called the agricultural revolution (Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, 22). During the same period a warming trend occurred, which allowed for a wealth of plants and animals to be exposed and domesticated by early humans (Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, 22).
This paraphrased quote is citing two sentences from the textbook and provided proper citation material: textbook name, followed by the page number.
Proper citations are also required when quoting, directly or indirectly, from lecture PPT slides and primary sources (either from the textbook, textbook reader, or on Canvas).
You can also use the author’s last name followed by the page number:
During the same period a warming trend occurred, which allowed for a wealth of plants and animals to be exposed and domesticated by early humans (Pollard, 22).
As long as the reader, me, knows where the information is coming from, then using either title or author is ok with me. Please do not stress on the minutia or small details of MLA or Chicago Style, as long as the information presented in the Website is clearly from the Work Cited page, then I am happy.

AHDI seeks to guarantee accountability, clarity, and alignment with its mission and goals through the documentation and communication of its program procedures.
I’m responsible for this portion. Feel free to site a source if needed and answer what’s mentioned above

In preparation for the initial post, consider two (2) of the following American Foreign policies:
Marshall Plan
Berlin Airlift
Containment
Anti-Communist Freedom Fighters
Vietnam (conflict) War
Détente’
SALT I & SALT II
Camp David Accords
Strategic Defense Initiative (nicknamed “Star Wars”)
Then, in one (1) to two (2) paragraphs, address one (1) of the following:
Explain how each of your choices was an effective policy to thwart international communist expansion.
Based on your selections, analyze if the United States should have feared international communist subversion during the Cold War era (1945–1991).
Use your own words. Use 2 scholarly sources. APA format. Cited.
Reply Post:
I chose to write about the Marshall Plan and Berlin Airlift.
The Marshall Plan was in effect from 1948 to 1951 It involved l16 different nations the plan’s essential objective was to rebuild Europe by modernizing and rebuilding its industry. Therefore, reparation claims against Germany and other nations it had fought against the USSR rather than accelerating the recovery in Europe. The Marshall Plan was offered to both the Soviet Union and its satellite states Stalin. Both Poland and Czechoslovakia had been eager to participate in the plan, but they both were pacified by agreements with Soviet Union.
West Berlin was cut off form the rest of the world on June 24, 1948, 2.5 million Soviet troops had surrounded it. The Berlin Airlift was the name given to it. The partners started flying planes into West Berlin everyone was conveying different necessities, the flights could not be stopped by the Soviets because it would have been considered an act of war. The Soviet came to conclusion about their attempt to blockade Berlin was pointless by April of 1949. On May 12, 1949 the Soviet blockade came to an end.
The United States was concerned about the threat posed by the global spread of communism even before the collapse of the grand alliance and the beginning of the cold war. As a consequence of this, the United States of America began the process of attempting to contain communism which came to be known as Containment This policy was applicable in the regions where it already existed by encircling it with powerful, non-communist states through a combination of financial aid, as depicted in the Marshall Plan. The Containment policy that dominated U.S. foreign policy throughout the cold war had mixed results and frequently resulted in tragic events.
Use your own words. Use 1 scholarly source. APA format. Cited.

Research four (4) historical events from the approved “List of Historical Events” on eLearning andanalyze the event for site/date listed.
– Write a report of a minimum of 1000 words for each of the four events. Analyzing the history of each
event makes up a good part of your grade for the project. I will be looking to see that you analyze the
event/subject and show critical thinking about what happened, who was involved and their diverse
nature, how the people involved interacted with their society, what else was going on at the time
(historical context), how civic engagement was involved (or could have been), why it was important
then, why it’s important now, and how it relates to broader aspects of US history or other factors.
– Each report should have a minimum of 1000 words that includes:
o Name of Event, Location City, Date of Event in bold print at top of report.
o Description (this should be a paragraph or two): Give a brief overview of the event and where it
occurred. What was going on? Who was involved? What were their demographics (race,
ethnicity, religion, employment, gender, language, age, etc.)? How did they interact with
society?
Analysis (this should be the bulk of your report): Research and analyze the subject/event. Talk
about the diverse people who are involved. Get into the story. The following questions should
help you frame your analysis. You should answer all the questions below for each report and
really analyze the choices made and the significance of those actions. The goal is to show how
local (maybe individual) actions have bigger consequences (like in the case of civic engagement)
and, if no civic engagement occurred, to think critically about why that was and hypothesize
about how civic engagement could have been used.
 What conflict existed? What were their competing interests/stories?
 What diverse factors were at play? Did the person’s background affect their experience
and how they interacted with others at that time?
 What were conditions like at the time? What else was going on at that time in US/world
history that may have played a role in this subject?
 Was one group trying to change something? If so, what kind of change were they
attempting to achieve? How would this change affect the other side?
 What were the choices available and what choices were made? What were the
consequences of those choices and effects of the actions taken?
 How did individuals use their voice and/or actions in the public realm to try to make
change? If they didn’t use their voice/actions, why do you think this was? How might
they have been civically engaged to address a matter of public concern?
 What can be learned from this event? Was there change? Was one group successful or
not successful?
 Why was this event important then? Why is important now? How does this event fit into
our history—the story of us?
 Give your final thoughts on the event that played out. What does this event symbolize to
you? You may want to ask family/friends if they are aware of the event that occurred at
that site and see what they know of its history.
ALSO: Bibliography& Citations
 Each event should be thoroughly researched and analyzed using academic research comprised of
secondary sources. You should strive for at least three secondary sources (articles or books) that analyze
the larger historical topic represented for each event (please note that the academic sources are not for
the specific events themselves they are for the broader historical subjects/context of the site). For each
event, you are given an event and then a broader subject to help you know what to research. To do academic research, you will use works written by scholars. You should be looking at articles or books, not websites, as academic sources. Websites are fine to know more about the event itself, but not for historical analysis. You will likely want to use the Jstor database first since this resource is what historians around the nation use to get academic research. Secondly, I would use the Michigan Historical Review database. Thirdly, I would use Michigan History magazine database.
 Provide a bibliography of all the research that you conducted. All works consulted should be included.
Bibliography must be in Chicago Manual of Style.
https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citatio…
 Any information that needs to be cited, should be cited in a footnote using Chicago Manual of Style.
Make sure you are avoiding plagiarism at all costs.
 If there are primary source documents or other information that you think will enhance the paper,
please include them in the bibliography. The research requirement is for secondary sources, not
primary though. You should focus your research on secondary sources.
 You can use websites to better understand the events and those, too, should be listed in the bibliography
but they do not count for the three minimum academic sources for each event.
***THE FOUR EVENTS ARE:***
Event 1 (Activism): Flint Water Crisis
Event 2: (Gender): Rosie the Riveters and women’s contribution to WWII, Willow Run
Event 3: (Labor) Ford Hunger Strike at Ford River Rouge Plant
Event 4: (Race/ Ethnicity): Cross White case

You must listen to a podcast and read an article to help me answer the question with citation. I can send the links for those.
