Dueling between Alexandra Hamilton and Aaron Burr
The course will include one ten-page paper, which will include sourced material. Note that this paper will be required to be in Times New Roman font at the 12 -point scale. Students must use correct grammar and demonstrate historical knowledge and analysis in order to receive full credit for their paper. For that reason students may want to submit a draft of their essay to HCC’s “Ask Online” Service (http://www.hccs.askonline.net) for review. Students whose work is submitted with grammatical and historical errors will have points deducted from their grade. Outside material will be required to be properly sourced and referenced. The topic paper will be due March 9. The paper is due April 27. It is your responsibility to turn the paper in time. Your topic is what is an area of history termed counterfactual, the what if scenario. The paper will be divided into three parts.
1. The first part is your description of an actual historical event. You are free to choose any event, as long it is relevant to American History and the time period of the course.
2. The second part is you will change a part of that event and how that affected the outcome. This means an actual change with reason. It isn’t enough to say “slavery did not exist”, I need to know why in your new history it never occurred. For example Hitler did not invade Moscow because he had more accurate intel about the Russian defenders on the European front. 3. The third part you must expand on what that change has meant to the rest of history to the present day. Think logically about the repercussions, both for good or ill. Using the above example Germany not exposing it to a two front war concentrates on Britain and conquers it. Germany then invades Russia, but not during the winter and with the full Nazi force overwhelming the Russians, allows them to take over the country.
There will be a sample paper accessible on my Learning Web page.
