Your task is to summarize the primary source’s major content, critically analyze the source, and place the source into its broader historical context by relating your summary and analysis to the major course content discussed in the textbook chapter. You will be evaluated mainly on how well you complete these three tasks; proofreading, clarity, organization, and proper formatting and citations will also be taken into account.

The paper should be completed in Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12-font, and in a Word document. Use parenthetical citations to document your use of the primary source [ex. (Source)] and the textbook [ex. (Foner, 77)]. No Works Cited page is needed. Outside sources (ex. Wikipedia) are not permitted and will result in a 0 on that paper. The paper should be 600-1200 words.
