Answer the three following questions in three separate,
- Some historians have argued that American participation in the War of 1812 was a fiasco that resulted in no
benefits to the United States at the end of the war. Other scholars have argued that the American war effort, although beset by difficulties, still worked
to the advantage of the United States overall. Which position might you agree more with? Why?…………..2. How did southern planters attempt to
control African-American slaves in the old south? What methods did African-Americans use to resist this domination. To what degree can we say such
resistance was succesful in opposing slavery?………………3. Some historians have argued that the United States from the 1810s to the 1840s was
becoming a more democratic society. Other scholars have argued that the United States during this period was becoming a less democratic society.
Which position might you agree more with? Why?………..Answer each set of questions above in three separate essays. Write essays that demonstrate
an understanding of the relevant course material (i.e. the assigned readings and lecture slides) and an ability to think critically about the historical
topics under consideration. Each essay should be roughly 500-750 words, typed and double spaced with standard set margins. Proper pronunciation
and grammar is essential. The essays should contain a respectable number of facts and quotes from the lecture slides and readings (in the files
section). Outside sources such as other books or the internet are not relevant for this assignment. You do not need to provide footnotes or in-text
Citation but use quotation marks for direct quotes and do not copy text or otherwise plagiarize under any circumstances.
