Andrew Jackson's Presidency - Platinum Term Papers

There is much speculation on the greatness of Andrew Jackson’s Presidency (Especially with the Native Americans) and the role his actions played in the coming American Civil War. Please look into his relationship with Martin VanBuren, John C. Calhoun, his role with South Carolina, and the National Bank crisis. You will need to compare your view to another view on the subject, so you will need to start to gather data and understand the topic well enough to understand the position in the light of other view points. I will post names of famous American Revolutionary authors and you will need to use the internet, library, inter-library loan, and the accounts that are free from our library to get full text online primary sources to support your contention. You will post your entry as a copy and paste, NOT ATTACHMENTS, to the journal link to the left. You have to have the following in your paper:

1. A solid thesis at the end of your first paragraph
2. Minimum of two body paragraphs
3. You must also have 5-7 viable sentences per paragraph
4. You must have a solid viable topic sentence for each body paragraph.
5. A viable conclusion.
6. Parenthetical References
7. Bibliography
8. 3 sources: 2 primary sources and 1 secondary source (Sources CANNOT include Wikipedia,Wiki anything, encyclopedia entries, dictionaries or what your family or friends told you)
Sources should be textbooks, history books, documents that are from the time period,etc.

Note: When you quote something from source material, you should introduce the evidence, then afterward you should have a sentence explaining how that source relates to your thesis.
Use note cards to organize your thoughts and structure. I have also included compare and contrast “how to” documents for your reference. Use them, they will help you organize your arguments.
List of Historians and sources (You do not need to hold to these sources, but the authors are considered the best in the field, so stick to these authors for secondary sources. Primary Source sites are available online and several are below for your use)
