Required Source: Your source for this essay is Eric Foner’s Give Me Liberty: An American History, Vol. 1, Seagull 6 th Edition . You must use this book for this essay. Other sources will result in an essay grade of zero.
Prompt: Considering our course textbook, Give Me Liberty answer the following central question:
Describe the political, economic, and racial tensions in the United States after 1787. How did political, economic, and racial tensions divide the nation and lead to the Civil War?
When considering a possible conceptual framework to answer this central question in your essay, try to view some big ideas in terms of U.S. politics, economics, and race relations. Remember that political, economic, and racial tensions are your main points here. The historical scope or time-frame for this essay is 1787 to 1860. Many specifics are available between chapters 11 and 14. You won’t be able to choose all examples that you find, so be selective and use the most significant examples that will support your thesis statement.

Citation style: At the end of a paraphrase or a “direct quote,” you must put the page number in parenthesis before the period, like this (101). This is a citation. I will look for at least three or more citations for each body paragraph. Read the five paragraph essay format instructions very carefully.
