Research paper writing help
Using the primary sources on slavery as your evidence (available on Gauchospace), answer the following prompt in a 6-page paper. The paper must be double spaced,
Times New Roman, 12-point font, with 1 inch margins. There are 19 documents to choose from; you must use at least 9.
Prompt: How did slaveryas an economic system, social hierarchy, and political philosophy grow from its colonial origins to shape the foundations of the United
States?
A few suggestions to help you organize your ideas and guide your primary source analysis:
? Consider both the more macro-view of slavery in the Atlantic world in conjunction with the actions of slaves themselves.
? Strong papers will present an in-depth analysis of each primary source, how each seemingly unconnected source works in dialog with others, as well as zoom out and discuss how foregrounding slavery complicates more traditional narratives of
American exceptionalism and freedom.
? Papers should include deliberate and concise direct quotations of relevant passages in the sources, paraphrasing where necessary (always with proper and frequent citations), as well as citing ideas and concepts presented in lecture, the secondary readings, or ideas developed in discussion section.
? No outside reading
is required, or advised, unless you receive prior authorization from your TA.
