1. “Bleeding Kansas” pages 425-428
A. Summarize the main points of the section.
B. In your opinion, in what ways did the growing violence predict the coming of the Civil War? Examine the cases of Lawrence, Kansas; John Brown’s raid at Pottawatomie Creek; and, the Sumner-Brooks affair in your response.
2. The Dred Scott Decision pages 430-432
A. Summarize the main points of the section.
B. In your opinion, what does the decision tell us about the U.S. in the 1850s and the “uproar” the decision created?
Directions:
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.
