Chapter 12: Manifest Destiny, 1836-1848
Choose only two (2) of the below to write your responses — 30 points each.
Please use the Guideline Page in preparing your two (2) responses.
1. Acquiring the Trans-Mississippi West pages 385-389
A. Summarize the main points of the section.
B. In your opinion, how did Texas demonstrate Manifest Destiny?
2. Indian Nations of the Trans-Mississippi West pages 392-395
A. Summarize the main points of the section.
B. In your opinion, why has United States policy been difficult to characterize and explain? Use the evidence of romantic novelists, de Tocqueville, land policy, and the role of the bison/buffalo to address the question.
1. There is no defined word count rather the response will be evaluated on a balance of coverage and supportive examples; summarizing more material is not necessarily better than writing a concise, but effective summary.
2. You must include the phrases “In summary,” at the start of each summary and “In my opinion,” at the start of your opinion. Please include a paragraph break between the summary and the opinion.
3. Proofread spelling and grammar; take the time to run a word processing check for both prior to submission.
4. When quoting the textbook narrative, use quotation marks and the first author McGerr in the sentence. Your summary should be a maximum of 20% quoted material; your voice should predominate.
5. Citation of the textbook is not necessary; only cite outside sources of information if you include any.
6. Any information included in a response that is not referenced in the textbook pages MUST be documented and cited properly.
