Compare and contrast two different perspectives on the U.S. conquest of the North American West between the American Revolution and the Civil War.
Answers can include perspectives that supported or opposed western expansion. However, they must be specific and give information regarding the historical context in which each perspective emerged.
A good essay will have a thesis that is fully supported by specific examples and detailed analysis pulled from both lecture and readings. For both direct quotes and paraphrases, you must cite your sources using parenthetical in-text citations.
