Week 2 Project

In the previous week, you read about Native Americans in North America, the Europeans exploring and colonizing the New World, and the prevalence of slavery. We will continue to explore the economical relationships forged and broken by colonialism, followed by the revolution fought to create a nation from the colonies.

In the years prior to the American Revolution, English subjects established a new life for themselves. There were more freedoms than at home. However, there too was a gradual build-up of discontent. People expected opportunity, and if it was removed, they spoke out against it and engaged in open rebellion. It became very evident that Colonists were different than their English counterparts at home, and were in most cases more financially well off. They enjoyed governing themselves and distrusted England. Following the Revolutionary War, they realized that economically, for them to prosper, they needed an effective national government, and this could not happen under the Articles of Confederation. Therefore, to protect itself from foreign threats and to form a more perfect union, a Constitution was written and adopted. Within this new republic, there was great regional diversity to accommodate, along with the diversity of opinions about how the local, state, and federal governments should be run.

During this second week, we will study history up to 1776 and examine the causes of the American Revolution, the war itself, and the creation of a new nation under the Articles of Confederation and then the Constitution.

Your Learning Objectives for the Week:

Develop map skills to know where events in American history took place and how physical geography influenced political, social, economic, and cultural developments in the colonies and the United States up to the end of Reconstruction.
Understand and appreciate the diversity of Americans’ experience and the complexity of issues faced by various ethnic groups, especially for followers of different social, religious, and political traditions.

I already paid to have this paper wrote once. Attached is what the person wrote. My teacher was uphappy and his remarks was:

I am not clear what you are doing. This is Project 2

Several factors weighed against the British in their efforts to successfully fight and win the Revolutionary War. In a 2- to 3-page paper, discuss at least four of the problems they would have had and explain how and why each of the problems was impossible to overcome. Remember to use supporting citations from the textbook and online lectures. (Here is a guide to help you with APA-style citations.)

Your essay introduces the challenge, then in subheadings I want to see Problem 1; Problem 2, Problem 3; Problem 4.
I ended up with a grade of 0/F.
