WRITING ASSIGNMENT 1A: Reconstruction.  
President Lincoln’s goal for reconstruction remained linked to his goal in the war-preserve the Union. His plan favored leniency, in order to as quickly as possible reintegrate the south, and gain the support of Southern Unionists (mostly former Whigs). Radical Republicans urged a much harsher course, believing that the South was unrepentant and should bear the costs of Reconstruction.

During the semester, students are conducting background readings and analyzing
historical documents from early American history. The essays provide students an
opportunity to demonstrate their growing knowledge. Answers to the essay questions
need to be based on historical evidence drawn from course materials, including
readings, lectures, and primary sources. Strong essays will utilize historical documents
as evidential support and offer specific critical analysis. Each essay must be 900-1000
words in length. Direct quotes taken from the Yawp textbook or primary source reader
need to include parenthetical citations. If students are unsure of how to write expository
essays, an informative guide can be found at the Purdue OWL. Use only these resources Sample parenthetical citations

A short paper assignment allows you to demonstrate your research skills to your instructor and to receive feedback that will benefit you when you write research papers for future courses. With this assignment, you will learn how to do proper research and write a short paper.
Your topic must be the same topic approved by your instructor in Week 3.
This short paper is three double-spaced pages of text (Times New Roman, font size 12), and you must consult a minimum of two academically credible sources. Your bibliography and citations may be in APA, MLA, or Chicago Style format.
The short paper needs to be turned in through the assignment section for grading. If you use any of the information from your sources word-for-word, you must cite the source by using endnotes, footnotes, or parenthetical citations. If you read the information and write it in your own words and it is not common knowledge, then you must cite the source because you are paraphrasing someone’s information.
The short paper must include a cover page with your name, course number and course title, instructor’s name, and date. You must also include a bibliography at the end of your paper. While composing your paper, use proper English.
