The essay prompt and instructions are too long to repeat here. See the “Objectives and Tasks for Glorious Victory: Andrew Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans” (the first document in this module) for the essay prompt and instructions.
Assignment Objectives:

You might find it helpful to complete the essay in a word processing document, like MS Word, and then cut and paste your final draft into the submission text box. Do not submit a link to your essay; points will be deducted if you do this. (For security reasons, I do not open attachments or click on links.)
