Westward Expansion of the Transcontin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inental Railroads from 1860-1890. Specifically for this assignment we will use an in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interactive map of westward expansion from 1860 to 1890. You can access it at this URL: http:/Mwwpbsleamin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ingmediaorg asset/akh10_in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int_expansion/ Once you have the map open, click on the boxes for Major Cities, Railroad Networks, Improved Agricultural Land, and States and Territories. At the bottom of the map, you will notice the decades 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1890. Click on each of these decades in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in succession and you will see the ways in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in which the country changed. The goal of this assignment is for you to in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interpret, synthesize, and analyze what you are seein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing on the map. You will make a well-organized argument, support that through research, and then write a conclusion for your fin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ings. Analysis is the process whereby the researcher separates somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">into its component parts. In an analytical essay, the writer examin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ines a subject relative to its own terms, and explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ins the problem by studyin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">individual parts. In contrast, synthesis requires that the researcher examin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ine in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">individual unrelated parts in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in an effort to discover somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing new. A good essay will utilize both analysis and synthesis. Instead of examin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the simple facts of a problem, the writer will go beyond the obvious, makin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing connections between different pieces of evidence to discover somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing new. Consider the modern map of the Westward Expansion from 1860-1890 and focus on the expansion of the Transcontin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inental Railroad development throughout this time period and how it changed the way transportation was and the significates of the transcontin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inental railroad. This essay should be at least three double-spaced pages of text (Times New Roman, font size 12) and you must consult a min" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inimum of two academically credible sources. Bibliographies and citations can be in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in MLA, APA, or Chicago format
