Early United State history

HIST 120 Final Examination-Due by the end of the day Tuesday December 20.

Section I: Choose one of the following two questions for your first essay.

1. Between 1820 and 1860 the United States experienced significant growth and expansion of industry and commerce (i.e. the Market Revolution), as well as growth in both the scope and the importance of the institution of slavery. What economic factors, technological innovations, and social conditions brought about these simultaneous transformations? In what ways were the lives of slaves and wage laborers impacted and how did they respond to these changes? Be as specific as possible in both your responses and examples.

2. Some reformers of the 1820s, 1830s and 1840s pursued their objectives within the mainstream of American society (such as the Abolitionists), while others withdrew from society and formed (religious and secular) utopian communities. Compare these two strands of American reform. What characteristics did they share in common? In what ways did they differ? How did both reflect both innovations and anxieties in the pre-Civil War United States?

Section I: Choose one of the following two questions for your second essay.

1. Analyze the major developments between 1848 and 1861 that heightened sectional tensions. Did morality or economics dominate the debates over slavery during this period? How were the various arguments both for and against slavery expressed and contesting during the specific clashes of this period? Why did the election of Abraham Lincoln spark the secession of the Deep South?

2. In April of 1861 Abraham Lincoln did not believe the conflict with the South would span four years and plunge the nation into a total war that redefined its very principles. Describe the changes in Lincoln’s thinking that led to a total war fought for high ideals. How did he come to envision the conflict in terms of redefining the meanings of freedom and liberty? Further, how did the prosecution of this “total war” strategy on the battlefield mark the Civil War as the first “modern” war?

Use of 3 different themes and 3 different subjects or topics

  • Theme titles with name of theme and corresponding theme number from the LIST OF THEMES
  • Vetting of sources within the essay
  • Proper notation of and use of quoted materials to support content argument
  • Proper formatting of citations for all quoted materials
  • Works Cited with proper sections listing Primary Documents and Secondary Sources
  • Full bibliographic information provided in Works Cited
  • Name and class information provided
  • For each theme you discuss, you need to quote your textbook OR an outside secondary scholarly source of your choosing once and ONE primary document found either in your ebook or from an outside source. (See further details about your sources below). Use a different primary document for each theme and history you write on. You must include a properly formatted Works Cited at the end.  These assignments will help you learn to see history in terms of these themes.
  • For each Themed Essay Assignment, you will write a minimum 750-word entry (CONTENT ONLY – Works Cited DOES NOT count towards minimum word count) about 3 historical topics that you can extrapolate from the subjects we have studied in that week in which the Themed Essay is assigned. EACH ENTRY PARAGRAPH WRITTEN ON A THEME MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 250 WORDS. So the math here is easy = 3 different theme discussions of 250 word minimum each yields a total minimum word count of 750 words AND 3 separate themes X 3 Assignments = 9 historical themes used in the semester.   I expect to see original analysis, interpretation and rhetorical content.

only use the following resouces, no other resource.

48 hours

2 pages

250-350 words

Please read:
– Misa, Chapter 2

– Richard W. Unger, “Dutch Herring, Technology, and International Trade in the Seventeenth Century,’ The Journal of Economic History, Vol. 40, No. 2 (Jun., 1980), pp. 253-280, available in the Readings Folder on JSTOR at: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2120179

– Wiebe E. Bijker, “The Oosterschelde Storm Surge Barrier: A Test Case for Dutch Water Technology, Management, and Politics,” Technology and Culture, Vol. 43, No. 3, ‘Water Technology in the Netherlands’ (Jul., 2002), pp. 569-584; Available in the Readings Folder and on JSTOR at: http://www.jstor.org/stable/25147960

 

Discuss: In chapter two, Misa writes that “The emergence of specialized ship designs in the Netherlands was another early signal that the Dutch understood how to bring technology and trade together in pursuit of commerce.” In Part I of your essay this week, connect an example that Misa offers to support his claim with one that Unger discusses in his essay on Dutch Herring.  How does this help us to understand the relationship between the Dutch successes and other social, economic, political or cultural trends at that time? In Part II of your essay, discuss how Bijker’s story is, or is not, a modern continuation of the relationship between technology, geography, commerce and other aspects of Dutch society.

The following is an exercise in historical role play.  You are one of the following people:  an Austrian officer writing to your emperor, Ferdinand II; a Swedish soldier writing to his family in Stockholm; a Lutheran pastor writing to his congregation in Saxony; a Spanish nun writing to her bishop; or an agent (male or female) of Cardinal Richelieu of France.  Write a letter in which you describe the Battle of Breitenfeld, fought on September 7, 1631, in exhaustive detail with names, tactics, etc.  Remember that this battle marks the turning point in the Thirty Years’ War and your writer should explain why this is so.  Who you are will determine your point of view as to the significance of the Swedish victory and why it is said that “freedom of belief for the world was saved at Breitenfeld.”  Remember to stay in character, particularly be aware of your nationality as well as the rank and position of who you are addressing.  Also, In choosing the name of your character, make sure it fits the time frame in which you are writing as well as the nationality of your writer.  Sign that name at the end of your letter.  Remember also that an emperor is addressed as “Your Majesty,” and bishops and cardinals are called “Your Eminence.”

Tips for proper netiquette/ communicating online

Your final assignment is to curate an online art exhibition that has artwork representing each Unit in chronological order. Using the unit outlines as a guide, organize an image presentation where each of the units are represented (at least two images per Unit). Be creative, and generate an exhibition that represents your personal tastes and what you have discovered throughout the course.

For each image selected, write a brief appraisal, as if you were a critic. Put the facts and figures aside, and describe your personal reactions to each piece, as if you were visiting a museum with a friend and expressing your reactions based on the knowledge you have acquired. Accompanying the image presentation, write a final paper linked to the discoveries of your presentation, with appraisals for each Unit as well as a final reflection on what you have learned, including new knowledge or discoveries.
