Answer the following question:

In the aftermath of the Civil War, Radical Republicans went into the South with the intentions of creating a truly egalitarian society.  Were they successful?  What were the successes and failures of Reconstruction?  Please be as specific as possible. 

Choose one of the following two questions

1) What was the main difference between John Quincy Adams' American System and the economic approaches of Andrew Jackson? 

2) How did Abraham Lincoln's attitude surrounding slavery change over time?  What was it before the outbreak of the Civil War and what had it become by 1863?

Essay: Provide a 1-3 page response (written) to the following question.  Please note: you may bring an OUTLINE to class to assist you in writing this essay.  But you MAY NOT bring a word-for-word essay response with you.  It must be an outline only. There are a total of ten possible points for this section. 

We began our class talking about "America the exception."  In other words, America was an exception to the great civilizations of the past (ancient China, Rome, Egypt, etc.) in that American society was not ruled by a monarch or religious official but by the people.  The years between the establishment of the Constitution and the Civil War posed a significant challenge to the concept of the "people's rule" in America. Construct an argumentative essay that discusses the challenges that the expansion of the federal government, the Industrial Revolution, and, most importantly, chattel slavery posed to American freedom and democracy. Why were these issues so challenging and what did America do to "restore" power to the people? 

It may be helpful to consider the following issues:

• The Northwest Ordinance
• Internal Slave Trade
• Industrialization/Lowell, Massachusetts
• Urbanization
• The Missouri Compromise
• Texas annexation
• The Compromise of 1850
• The Kansas-Nebraska Act
• The Dred Scott Decision
• Gettysburg Address
• Black Codes
• 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments

You are expected to treat this question with the same consideration you would any other essay.  It should have a thesis.  It should be properly organized.  It should be written in complete sentences.  I do not expect citations.  I do expect that you appropriately engage course material.
