Must be in Chicago style format, and use information from “Maryse Conde, Segu 978-0-140-25949-0 ”
1. Thesis: Papers must have a clear thesis and sufficient evidence in the body of the
paper to support it. As Hellstern et al. argue: Athe introduction of your paper [must]
contain a sentence that expresses the task you intend to accomplish. This thesis sentence
communicates your main idea – the one you are going to prove, defend or illustrate.
2. Conclusion: The conclusion represents your last opportunity to convince the reader of
the validity of your thesis. Your conclusion should therefore reaffirm your thesis and
emphasize the main points of the paper that support your argument. Do not introduce
new ideas in the conclusion or introduce material not covered in previous paragraphs. 3. Quotations: Quotations should only be used to support your point, not make it for
you. Hence, quotes need to be introduced and explained, not simply inserted in a paper.
Furthermore, quotes should be inside quotation marks. Failure to use quotation marks,
even if the material is otherwise cited properly, is a form of plagiarism. The only
exceptions to this rule are long quotes (over 3 lines) which do not require quotation
marks; instead they must be single spaced and be indented on both sides
4. Citations should be limited to either footnotes or endnotes.
Parenthetical citations are expressly forbidden. All direct quotes, paraphrased material,
or specific information that is not common knowledge must be cited. Simply re-writing a
passage in your own words is not sufficient to avoid charges of plagiarism; you must
acknowledge the source from which you got the idea/information. In addition to
indicating the source of your information, notes may also be used to explain or expand
upon points made in your text.

Causes of the Civil War
Students will create a 3- to 4-page paper highlighting one of the events listed in the assignment instructions.
For more than 160 years, historians have painstakingly searched for the one factor that caused the American Civil War, the event that caused disunion to turn to war. The search is so intense that the American Civil War is one of the most researched events in the history of the United States. Throughout Unit VII, we have seen various events or variables that could be identified as a factor that has set the United States on a path toward the American Civil War. This one factor and its impact will be the focus of our Unit VII assignment.
Assignment Instructions:
After reading the Unit VII Study Guide and Chapter 14, select one event from the list below:
The Compromise of 1850
The Kansas-Nebraska Act
Presidential Election of 1856
Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857)
The Lincoln-Douglas Debates
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry
Presidential Election of 1860
Write a scholarly paper in which you accomplish the following:
Explain why you believe this single event caused such intense disunion within the United States that the country was placed on a trajectory toward the American Civil War.
Provide an insightful and thorough analysis of the event.
Clearly describe how it served as a catalyst for the American Civil War.
Include how major social, political, and economic dynamics may have played a role in the event.
Your paper must be three, but no more than four pages in length. The title page (if used) and the reference page do not count toward this requirement.
You must use at least at least three peer-reviewed or academic resources, two of which must come from the CSU Online Library, to support your paper.

Based on the films and the readings covered till week 7, write an essay on how African films can be viewed as “the night school of the people.” From your perspective, how did African filmmakers try to present histories of African freedom struggles, the emergence of new democracies in Africa, and African postcolonial lives and lifeworlds? How did some historical fiction and newsreel films inform or challenge your understanding of African political history, social practices, and histories? And how were they different from Western systems of representation of Africa and Africans? Please cite at least three-four examples from the films that you have watched in class, and you must also reference at least three texts. You can also mention scenes that have specifically informed or altered your visual perception of Africa.
You are expected to write a well-formulated essay (5-pages double spaced, Times New Roman, size 12, 1-inch margin). Your references and citation will be included in the 6th page. Remember to title your essay

ASSIGNMENT 1 Catharine Beecher was the great ideologue of the cult of domesticity. She glorified the special tasks and responsibilities of women. She agreed with most middle-class men that women’s place was in the home; but she also believed that women should dominate that sphere as professionals and masters of the domestic arts. Please read the attached document. Catherine Beecher Domestic Economy, 1841.docx Download Catherine Beecher Domestic Economy, 1841.docx Questions to Consider: (These are to get you started.) How does Beecher connect women’s support of democratic institutions with their religious beliefs? According to Beecher, what is necessary “in order that each individual may pursue and secure the highest degree of happiness within his reach”? Explain how Beecher describes the “separate sphere” of women in American society. Taking into account that Beecher was writing in 1841, was she realistic in her expectations? Why or why not? Evaluate the place of Beecher’s beliefs about a women’s role in today’s society. Do they still apply? Have they been achieved? ASSIGNMENT 2 Discuss the documentary, Reconstruction: The Second Civil War. What did you find interesting and why? What did you learn that you didn’t know? (See Lecture 12 for the links to the two-part documentary.)

Your Assignment: Using the Slave Narratives from Henry Bibb, Solomon Northup, and Harriet Jacobs in the document posted below, answer the following three questions thoroughly and specifically, including multiple examples and short quotes from each of the narrators in all three of the questions: 1) Each of the narratives describes aspects of enslaved people’s daily work, their family relations, and overall culture. Of those categories, what aspects did the three individuals experience in common, and in what ways did they differ? 2) Each of the narrators describes a confrontation between a slave and a master. What were the common elements of these confrontations, and what was different about Harriet Jacob’s confrontation from the two men? What does that suggest about the different methods men and women used to resist their owners? 3) Slave narratives were written by African Americans, but read mostly by northern whites. Where do you see evidence that the narrators possibly had a white audience in mind? And, what ideas and impressions of slavery were they trying to impart to their readers. Attention! Directions and Guidelines: *Make sure to type your answers in grammatically correct, complete sentences and organized paragraphs. **State your main point clearly, and support that point with plenty of specific evidence (including short quotes) from the document. Analyze the material (explain it in your own words). Do not simply restate what it says. ***Submit your answers by attaching a Word doc.

Write a five-paragraph essay (introduction, three main paragraphs, conclusion), 750-1000 words. Your main paragraphs should focus on your family (whatever that means to you), your community (whatever that means to you), and your own individual experiences. Consider the following as you construct your essay: Family can be just your parents and sisters and brothers or it can include extended family like grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, etc., but it can also include other people who have had such a significant role in your life that they have become your family (or you have become their family). Your community can be the neighborhood where you grew up, the places you have lived, gone to school, worked, etc., and your friends and other people you have various relationships with in those places. But community can also be any group of people that you share something in common with who are important to you or that had an impact on your life. Types of communities could include racial/ethnic/language, gender/sexual orientation, religious, political, medical/disability, sports/recreation, art/music, other lifestyle/interests/hobbies, etc. Your individual experiences can include anything from ordinary, everyday experiences that shaped your life over a long period of time to major life-changing one-time events that reshaped your life all at once. These can be good experiences, bad experiences, and all kinds of experiences in between. Usually, your family, your communities, and your individual experiences are all intertwined and overlapping, but sometimes they can impact your life separately. Questions to Consider How important is family in your life? How much do you know about your parents, grandparents, or other ancestors experiences before you were born? What roles did your immediate family and extended family play in your childhood, in your adolescence, and as an adult? How important are the communities you belong to in your life? Which communities have shaped your identity in the most important ways? Which communities or parts of your identity have changed over time? Which individual experiences have had the biggest impact on you? Have your day-to-day experiences been more important? Or have larger, more significant specific experiences been more important? Are your most important experiences connected to your family or communities? Or have they been separate experiences? Rubric Word Count & Depth (10 points) Grammar & Mechanics (10 points) Flow & Structure (20 points) Content & Ideas (60 points)- Exemplary: Ends the introduction with a thesis statement/main idea that specifies how family/communities/experiences have impacted you.
