Requirements
1. Answers should be submitted in an attachment, not typed into the textbox. If you submit in the textbox, I will reject your paper and ask you to submit it proper form (and I will subtract 5 points from your grade. I prefer *.PDF files, but I will accept anything I can open--and I can open almost anything produced by a word processor.
2. Answers will be double spaced with 1" margins all around. You will use a reasonable font-size. The font I am using here (11pt Times New Roman) would be such a font, so use it as a guide.
3. You will have a heading that includes your name, the date, this class (HIST 1305), and my name (Prof. Allen). You will number your pages, and you will note the questions you answer with a subheading. (Something like I.A. or II.B. is fine.) I will deduct 5 points for each of these that you neglect.
4. You will run spell check and grammar check and correct all errors. I plan to be reasonably forgiving of errors made in good faith, but I will penalize sloppy work rather severely.

5. Each answer should be at least one-and-one-half (1.5) pages in length. Do not go over two pages; do not submit an answer that is less than one page. Remember that this test consists of two answers--you should be submitting around three pages.
Part I (40 points)
Choose one of the following questions, and answer it to the best your ability. Be sure to follow the rules listed above and to answer all parts of the question, referring to the textbook and documents as appropriate.
A. In what ways did the Northern and Southern colonies differ from one another? Choose at least three differences and use the textbook and Documents (if relevant) to explain why you think those differences are significant.
~ or ~
B. What changes took place during the eighteenth century that allowed a dispute over tax policy to develop into the American Revolution. Choose at least three factors and use the textbook and Documents (if relevant) to explain why you think those factors are significant?
Part II (60 points)
Choose one of the following questions, and answer it to the best your ability. Be sure to follow the rules
listed above and to answer all parts of the question, referring to the textbook and documents as
appropriate.
A. Popular culture often portrays interactions between Native Americans and Europeans in two
ways. Either Europeans and Native Americans engaged in constant warfare, or they came
together in an effort to cooperate and understand each other (think of the story of the first
thanksgiving told to school children). I will argue that both of these accounts contain an element
of truth. Do you agree? Why or why not? Use the Documents by Columbus and Bradford and
the relevant portions of the textbook to explain your position.
~ or ~
B. Depending on my mood, I can describe the history of the United States as a story of expanding
freedom or I can describe it as a story of steady exploitation (even if the exact type of exploitation
changed over time). I can do this, I argue, because the history of the United States contains both
stories. Do you agree? Why or why not? Use a selection of Documents and the relevant portions
of the textbook to explain your position.
