Eric Foner’s Voices of Freedom

  1. Choose THREE of the people, or groups, in Eric Foner’s Voices of Freedom reader and fully develop them analytically. I DO NOT want three separate biographies but a paper that compares and contrasts the individual selections in a flowing narrative that focuses on the idea of freedom. How did each interpret the concept of American freedom? What contributions did they make to their times? What challenges did they face? How did they see the idea of freedom extended to others? Besides the Voices reader and the textbook an additional five outside sources are required. NOTE: encyclopedias are not credible sources for citation in a research paper.
  2. In a room where time has been suspended, SIX of the people in the Voices of Freedom reader have gathered to speak with each other about freedom. Though they lived at different times and their life experiences varied greatly they all held strong ideas about the meaning of the elusive concept. A debate begins as the individuals exchange views about the definition, the meaning and the value of American freedom. Your essay should fully develop their stands and conclude by summing up what was learned about freedom from their mythical roundtable. As above, five outside sources are required.
