US HISORY 1607-1750

by | Jun 7, 2023 | homework help

Your paper should be five to seven pages long, double-spaced, with one-inch margins in twelve-point font, Times or Times New Roman. Draw specific examples from your readings and lecture to support your argument. This paper is due in sections on Friday, March 3rd. 

 

Analyze a specific form of hierarchy, for example race, class, or gender, in America from 1607 to 1845. The first five- to seven-page segment of the paper, due on March 3, should cover 1607 through 1750, and the final ten- to twelve-page version, due on April 10, will cover the entire period through 1845. In your paper you might explore how hierarchy changed over time, what conditions made hierarchy possible, and how groups attempted to combat hierarchy and what opposition and constraints they encountered.

All sources in the paper must be properly cited according to the guidelines laid out in The Chicago Manual of Style, which is available on-line.
