Assignment: You are expected to submit an essay that makes a historical argument. The
essay should be 5-7 paragraphs long and provide sufficient evidence from the textbook and
the .pdf primary sources to support your main argument.What do to: write a five-to-seven
paragraph long essay that includes an introductory paragraph with a strong thesis
statement, three or four body paragraphs that provide supporting evidence to support that
thesis statement, and a conclusion paragraph that brings together your argument as a
whole. Body paragraphs should begin with clear topic sentences and end with a strong
transition sentence. You should plan to have 5-6 sentences per paragraph. All body
paragraphs must have footnotes that cite your primary and secondary sources whether you
are paraphrasing a source or quoting directly from it. You can expect to have at least six
total footnotes in the entire essay. You must use at least one secondary source (like the
textbook and/) and at least one class primary source (pdf). You can cite the same source
more than once.NOTE (Important): An important note on analysis for all essays: students
have generally struggled with demonstrating analysis on these essays. For any topic you
choose, the best answers will not only explain what happened but account for its influence
on other events of the time.For example, if you want to explain why Calvinist theology was
significant, you would not only give an account of what it was, but analyze its influence on
other events:-It inspired English Puritan colonists to create a society grounded in religious
faith that prevented non-believers from voting. (For example)ESSAY TOPIC: How did
European colonization transform North America between 1492-1763? In your answer,
compare the motives, methods, and results of colonization in at least two colonies of the
following colonies: New Spain, Virginia, New England, and Pennsylvania. You may also want
to consider economics, religion, social structure, and/or demographics as part of your
discussion. [Note: this question ends in 1763 so that you do NOT need to discuss the
American Revolution.] Answers must include a class primary source to earn highest
marks.Guidelines:-Your essay should be 5-7 paragraphs long, double-spaced paragraphs.
Please do you best to limit your paper to 3.5 pages double-spaced.-Use a normal, 12-pt font
and 1-inch margins.-You don’t need a detailed heading; just your name will suffice.-Include
the number of the question you are answering in your paper title.-You may choose an essay
topic similar to your group timeline project or you may choose to write about something
different.Citation Guidelines-The Chicago Manual Style footnote system is required. See

an external site.) (Links to an external site.)-I don’t want or need to see a Bibliography page.
Just appropriate use of footnotes.-When you quote directly from the textbook or the
primary source, you must use quotations.-You must cite your source with a footnote, even if
you are only paraphrasing a source.-For an example of how to cite a book, here is how you
would cite our class textbook in a footnote. Please take note, that you do not need to include
chapter titles or subheadings. The number after the comma is the specific page number
being referenced:Eric Foner, Give me Liberty!: An American History, Brief 6th Edition, Vol. 1
(New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 2020), 197.Use of Evidence Guidelines-I don’t expect you to
do outside research for these papers, and I don’t really want you to.-You should plan to cite
not only primary sources and the textbook
