InstructionsTask one – For your research project, select a moment of crisis in United States History between 1800-1877.As you are selecting your topic, consider what triggered this crisis and who was most impacted?In moments of crisis people often demonstrate resilience and create change.Within your topic where do you see this? Preliminary Research Once you have chosen your topic, you will need to learn a little more about it. Preliminary research is not meant as a final destination and many of the sources you use at this stage will not be acceptable as you progress. Sources for this stage might include secondary sources like your textbook, reputable websites, and yes, even Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica. Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica should never end up in your proposal. Because the goal of preliminary research is to familiarize you with a topic, by the end of this step you should understand the breadth of your topic and be ready to go into greater depth. This step can enhance the quality of your research question and keyword searches, in addition to improving the creativity of the online archives you find. Task two: Write a proposal. The proposal should come after you have selected a topic and done the preliminary research to familiarize yourself with the topic. Your proposal will contain the following:? Your topic? An analytical research question informed by preliminary research? The *sources* you will use to both contextualize your research and provideevidence for your argument. Please provide citations of sources in a bibliography for the proposal (you will use footnotes in the research essay*Sources* should include the following:1. At least 2 scholarly articles: https://www.jstor.org/2. At least 2 primary sources from archives. Archives house the original primarysources of history.

Analysis bindsthe paper together, explaining to the reader how the evidence you provide supports the argument you are making. ? Introduction and background: in an essay, this is where you introduce your argument and provide the reader with context. ? Evidence and analysis: in an essay, these are the “supporting” paragraphs. Most of the sources used here will be primary. ? Conclusion: as in a traditional essay, bring your ideas together in this final passage and link to a wider understanding of your topic. ? Citations: use footnote citations, not parenthetical citations, as outlined in the Chicago Manual of Style The rest of your paper will be graded for grammar, spelling, and quality of sources.

Nixon’s personality may have played a part in his demise. He believed the United States faced grave dangers from the radicals and dissidents who were challenging his policies, and he came to view any challenge as a “threat to national security.” As a result, he created a climate in which he and those who served him could justify almost any tactics to stifle dissent and undermine the opposition. He has been described as being a devious, secretive, and embittered man whose White House became a series of covert activities. Reagan, on the other hand, has been described as having had a very engaging personality. So much so that even people who disagreed with his policies, found themselves drawn to his attractive and carefully honed public image. Surrounded by tough, energetic administrators who insulated him from many of the pressures of the office, he seemed to offer general guidance but not make specific decisions. His presidency was also mired in a series of scandals, but the most damaging was the Iran-contra scandal. After a series of investigations and congressional hearings, the White House conceded that it had sold weapons to the revolutionary government in Iran, and used some of the money to illegally aid the Contras in Nicaragua. This was in direct violation of the Boland Amendment. Compare the Iran-contra scandal to Watergate. In your opinion, which one posed the greater threat to constitutional principles, Watergate or Irangate? Explain.

– Please use the PDF I attached as a reference for this assignment. Focus only on Episodes 1,2,5,7,9 and 13. You don’t have to read all of the episodes – If you need resources from the internet, you may use them, but only minimum and don’t forget to cite them Reflect on the entireity of Eyes On The Prize Episodes (1,2, 5, 7, 9, 13) and the narrative of the Civil Rights movement that it presents. As we learned from Jacqueline Dowd Hall , the way that the civil rights movement is presented and learned about has broad implications not just for history, but also for politics, and particularly for race relations in our country. Make a proposal for a new documentary on the “long civil rights movement.” Include an introduction to the series, what you hope to accomplish, and a breakdown of 4 or more episodes and what they would cover. What part of the approach of Eyes on the Prize would you want to keep? What new aspects or perspectives would you add to your series? (You can assume a good budget and access to experts you want to interview. Bear in mind that at this stage of history, many of the participants in the movement are elderly or have passed away, so conducting new interviews may not be possible.)
