4.) Develop a THESIS statement.
To earn an A on the paper you should make a historical argument with a clear thesis statement in the introduction. You should use the body paragraphs to “prove” or “support” the thesis. Finally, you will need to show analytical and critical thinking skills, tracing historical change over time through the lens of the economic, cultural, social, and political dynamics of the period. Within the argument, you should offer a judgment without presentism (e.g. don’t judge the past by modern standards). In other words, try to place yourself in the shoes of the historical actors at the time of their decision making. You should provide an answer to the following: What can we learn from the subject so that we make more informed decisions in the future? The essay should be 4 pages, double spaced in text-size 12, preferably Times New Roman. MLA format. Internal citation with bibliography at the end.
