Option 1:
For the final Portfolio Project, write a paper about an event in the period of U.S. history up to the era of Reconstruction. This
paper must illustrate the perspectives of a specific person or group of people (e.g. freed slaves) within a historically
marginalized population. For the purpose of this assignment, we define historically marginalized as people whose
perspectives have not been represented in history texts until very recently. Discuss the person’s or group’s era and
experiences in context of what was happening around them, prioritizing their experience rather than the established
narratives of the dominant experience. Possible perspectives include those of Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, or Sojourner
Truth.
This paper must include a discussion of the following topics:
A thorough summary of the event, including the incidents that took place and the key individuals involved
The importance of the event in the larger scope of U.S. history
How the event changed the daily life of the person from whose perspective you are writing
A prediction for how the event will make a longterm
impact in the lives of those in the underrepresented
group from which
the perspective is being written (keep in mind that this perspective should be written from the time at which the event took
place).
Please adhere to the following requirements for the paper:
Adhere to APA Requirements
Consist of at least four full pages but no more than six pages
Use at least five sources, including a scholarly journal article from ProQuest
Have an introduction and strong thesis
Make use of historical evidence and examples supporting your thesis
Finish with a forceful conclusion reiterating your main idea.
