Write a historical person essay on president Richard Nixon of the United States. Further instructions are in the files and the rubric as well.

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. Do not use abbreviations, contractions, passive voice, or first or second person (I, you, we, our, etc.). And finally, students are not allowed to use encyclopedias or Wikipedia.
Before submitting your paper, check your grammar and use a spell check. Remember, the way you talk is not the way you write a paper. Please label your paper as follows: lastnamefirstnameHIST101ShortPaper.
Attached, you will find my research proposal from “week 3” along with the topic. Feel free to make as many necessary changes as needed. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. 
Thank you.

History 17B Essay on Citizen 13660
Mine Okubo’s Citizen 13660 offers an early account of the experience of incarceration of
Japanese Americans during World War II and explores many themes of civil liberties, wartime
restrictions, race, prejudice, dehumanization, home, family, privacy, and debates about
Americanism and American values, among many other themes. Published in 1946, just one year
following the end of World War II, and drawing on Okubo’s experiences of incarceration, Citizen
13660 is a unique primary source.
For this assignment, analyze Citizen 13660 as a primary source. To focus your analysis, choose
one major theme related to the incarceration experience as documented by Okubo and describe
how Okubo explores that theme through her words and images and what message she makes in
doing so. What do we learn from this book as a historical source? Why is it significant?
You should use three images as evidence and analyze them as you make your argument. You
may reference other course materials as appropriate, but you should not consult any materials
outside of the course.
Essays should include:
• a brief introduction with a clearly stated thesis indicating the main point of the essay
• supporting body paragraphs with specific details and reference to reading and images
• a brief conclusion summarizing your main point(s)
Papers should be 800-1000 words and adhere to the following format:
• Times New Roman font
• 12 pt. font
• black ink
• double spaced
• no extra space between paragraphs
• page numbers (bottom right)
• you must cite all quotes and paraphrased material, but because we are all using the
same set of course materials, you may cite in short form, parenthetically (Okubo
22) or in footnotes, and do not need to include a works cited page.1
If you do consult any other sources outside of the class, they must be properly cited and include a
full citation in a works cited page. This includes sources from which you quote directly as well
as sources you reference or consult. You must make it clear where you got your information and
provide attribution to the work and words of others.

Pick one of the following questions and write a 5-7 page paper about it – To complete the assignment, use at least 4 relevant sources, including the material posted on the blackboard and any other relevant sources. Do proper in-text citation of expert reliable sources and include a list of cited works or references at the end: 
Women’s Movement, & Black Panther, etc.) and discuss how it came about, its impact on society, flaws, and contributions to society.
Please utilize the attached  resources if possible and have the paper follow the flow of the attached powerpoint.

This should be a research paper on the Louisianna Purchase.

CONCLUSION

Compare, contrast, and predict. I would like you to take time to compare and contrast EACH of the above items that were introduced in chapter 30. Please explain the perceptions of these topics in the 1990’s and how they are viewed today. Our country has recently dealt with, or is currently dealing with many of these issues. With our current climate that is the “coronavirus situation”, it is a very good time to reflect on history and understand the relationship of previous decisions compared to todays outcomes. By reflecting on these issues/ch. 30, it should be very apparent why HISTORY and GOVERNMENT are extremely important!!! After you take time and reflect, determine how we might proceed into the near future.
