In one cohesive post, (Use paragraphs only, not numbers or bullets)  answer the following questions based on your reading: What was Dr. Finger’s point about the changes that took place among Native Americans BEFORE the coming of the Europeans? How did trade with the Europeans affect the Indians of North America? In describing the Indian tribes of North America, Dr. Finger stressed what he called “Indian heterogeneity”. What did he mean by this? What was the “middle ground”? Why were the outcomes of the French & Indian War and then the American Revolutionary War such critical turning points in Tennessee Indian history?

The Bill of Rights are the First Ten Amendments included in our Constitution. Explain why the Founding Fathers felt that we needed these rights to to ensure we had protection of our Civil Liberties. In the readings, we see how the Courts have helped to interpret how the Bill of Rights have been expanded by the Fourteenth Amendment to apply to the states as well. Discuss how the Supreme Court did this by explaining Selective Incorporation. Once you have done this, explain some of the limitations placed on these rights by listing at least three instances where this has happened. This can include the First Amendment liberties such as limitations on religion, speech, or assembly, or any of the other Bill of Rights. There are plenty of examples of how no right is absolute. Find three of these examples and explain them as well as cite cases where the Court made these determinations. Finally, discuss the Second Amendment and what rights the Courts have determined we have to Bear Arms. Do you believe this right is absolute? Explain why or why not? What changes do you see if any in the 2nd Amendment? I will create a rubric that will guide you writing a thorough paper.

I have to write two paragraphs that should respond to this question How did women exercise some power or authority in their lives in the colonial period? Did it differ based on race, class, age, etc. ?

the Primary Source Journal responses should be formated.  If you have this same questions, this is the email announcement you have been waiting for, as this will help tremendously! Q: Do we simply just answer the questions in order …like question 1), 2), 3), etc. A:  Yes answer the questions, but it should be incorporated into a cogent, formal written response…either one robust paragraph, or small 3 paragraph essay with the following outline: 1) Introduction Paragraph: Describe the Historical Context of the primary source, including an explanation of the Author, Audience and Argument. -Author: That is, who is the Author and when did she / he live…why is she / he writing this primary source? -Audience: who is the Author writing to and why…why would people of that time be interested in this topic?-Argument: what is the main idea they are trying to express and defend…do they support their argument with solid facts and claims. Who in the society at that time would object to the claim / argument? 2) Content Paragraph:  Simply explain what the article was about. Answer the guiding questions within this section.  If it is a narrative, explaining an historical event, then explain that story. If it is a persuasive expository text, then what claim / argument are they trying to prove? 3) Conclusion – Analysis & Historical Significance of the Primary Source: Explain why this primary source is important to the West / European History? How did it have a “ripple effect”?  Analyze the primary source through the lens of the Global Studies…how and why is this important economically, politically, geographically, and culturally during that time and later in Western / European history? I hope this helps!

History 101 – Fall 2020 Response Paper #1 Based on a reading of William McNeill’s Plagues and Peoples Respond to the following in essay form.  Responses should total not less than 1250 words.  A footnote has been included as a guide.  Failure to follow a standardized citation form is slothful, especially given word-processing assistance. What are “macroparasites?”  What are “microparasites?”  How does “modulated macroparasitism” operate?  In what environments are microparasites most significant?  What are some of the ways that these two types of parasites interact? What does McNeill mean in the following quote: Looked at from the point of view of other organisms, humankind therefore resembles an acute epidemic disease, whose occasional lapses into less virulent forms of behavior have never yet sufficed to permit any really stable, chronic relationship to establish itself. Does McNeill believe that the advances of modern medicine have banished microparasitism from the human condition? Respond to one of the following: -How did the expansion of the Mongol Empire in the thirteenth century alter the disease environment of Eurasia?  -How does McNeill’s narrative encourage us to reinterpret the “Fall of the Roman Empire” in the fifth century and Justinian’s effort to reconstitute it in the sixth century?

Briefly summarize/discuss the readings and describe your personal reactions/opinions (commentary) about the readings and topic (if there is more than one reading assigned, you should discuss all the readings).  Papers should show evidence that you did all the readings (you should not just write about your own opinion based on your general knowledge of the topic or respond to only one or two specific things that the readings happen to mention).  Good reading response papers should do more than merely summarize the readings.  Your reading response paper will be graded based on the following criteria: a) Content (45% of grade): Is the student using and/or referencing material from the readings? b) Reaction (30% of grade): Is the student expressing a thoughtful response/opinion/commentary about the reading/topic? c) Organization and writing (25% of grade): Is the paper well-organized and written?
