This paper assignment is worth 200 points (20%) of your overall course grade. In this paper you will explain how History is created by historians. In that explanation discuss the key aspects of that creation such as: what is History, why do historians use different historical approaches as intellectual frameworks, what types of sources historians use in their research and where they find them and how they interrogate their sources, and how the historian's view about causal factors and their own personal biases shape their production of historical explanations about the past. I also want you to explain how History is different from the past. How does a historian take evidence from the past (primary sources), interpret them, and then create an argument about why the past turned out the way it did. Remember that the past is just the

During the mid-18th Century, English colonists appealed to the metropole for redress of various grievances. In this essay, I want you to consider the ethics and civics of the elite members of colonial society seeking change (later known to us as the Patriots). Who were these Patriots? What methods did they use to further their goals through civic engagement? What ethical considerations did they take into account in seeking redress of their grievances? How did they fail in the creation of the first American government under the Articles of Confederation? Did the second government under the Constitution address their grievances or did they simply remove the imperial government and placed themselves in that position? Note 1: Successful responses will consider a broad range of evidence in support of arguments. Take a few moments to consider how you would respond by making a list of both "ethics" and "civics" related to the colonists and their grievances. Be sure to have a mixture of big/br

In colonial British America, for instance, propertied colonials exploited Native Americans, African Americans and indentured servants; but by the time of the American Revolution these same colonials rebelled against the subservient status the British attempted to impose on the colonies. Using specific examples from your lecture and readings, discuss some of the exploitative relations that arose between propertied colonials and Native Americans, African Americans, and indentured servants in the North American colonies. How did these relations emerge, what were the power dynamics, and what sort of conflicts arose out of the exploitative relationships?
