4-5 typed, double-spaced pages (c. 1000-1200 words). Use 12-point, Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins all around.
Explain to the reader how you plan to analyze your topic on Reconstruction.
Focus your analysis on the sources themselves, not on the summaries in Yawp or the background information provided by Prince.
Cite & briefly quote a few (2-5) specific passages from the primary sources that support your arguments and explanations. But analyze and explain the quoted passages. Dont just drop them into your discussion without showing how they support your argument. Remember, the paper should mostly be your interpretation of the primary sources.
Draw conclusions about the sources that you have chosen to discuss. What did you learn from them? What do you believe is their significance to our understanding of the Reconstruction Era?
TOPIC;
The Impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Johnson was the first president to be impeached, and he came closer to being convicted and removed from office by the Senate than President Donald Trump did. Using at least four sources from documents 38-46 in Radical Reconstruction, discuss the Johnson impeachment. Which of Johnsons actions led to his impeachment by the House? What were the specific articles of impeachment against Johnson? What were some key arguments for and against Johnsons conviction? Did the Articles of Impeachment the House passed and their case against the President eventually persuade the Senate to remove Johnson from office? Why or why not? How does Prince assess the Senate vote? Do you agree or disagree with his conclusions?
