Write an essay in which you discuss the removal of the Five Civilized Tribes from the American South during the presidency of Andrew Jackson.  What role did racism play in the motivation for Removal?  Why did Jackson agree to it?  How did the lifestyle of most Native Americans in the South compare to their white neighbors?  How was Removal accomplished for each tribe and what events surrounded that exile–don’t generalize here because each tribe’s experience was unique.  What happened to the real estate and businesses that those Native Americans were forced to leave behind?  How did Native Americans adapt to their new environment and their new neighbors?

Question: Who was responsible for the Civil War? Was it the South? The North? Did strong personalities play a role? Was war inevitable? Explain your answer. Use the terms and concepts you learned from your textbook to support your answer. Cite your source(s) using APA Style.

Use the excerpts in Document 1 to answer the questions in the answer sheet (Document 2).

When done typing answers in Doc 2, save and upload! Note that the document titles and question section titles are the same, to help you find which answers relate to which documents. Note, questions can also be copied and pasted into your own document if your system has trouble allowing you to edit the file for your own use.

You are to write a current event paper, approximately 750 words in length, consisting of a summary and analysis of a current event having to do with American government and/or politics. (I CHOSE TRADE) You must cite a minimum of five references (sources) in the paper and include a works cited page at the end of the assignment to provide full bibliographic information for each of the references that was cited in the text of the paper. Current event papers must be formatted according to MLA style, for papers with no title page (see the following link to access an online resource for MLA style: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/). In addition, please use Courier New 12 point as the paper’s font, and ensure the assignment is double-spaced. The current event paper should have the following elements: Provide a thorough, but brief, summary of the political issue. An understanding of the issue should be developed by reading the articles uncovered during research for the assignment. The information provided in the summary will lay the foundation for you to react and respond to (analyze) the political issue. Be sure to properly cite within the text (according to MLA style) any information that you obtained from one of your sources. Citations must be provided, even for paraphrased information. Present your perspective on the political issue. Think critically about the topic discussed in the articles and clearly express your thoughts about it in writing. Consider eight standards for critical thinking (Paul and Elder, 2103): clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, and fairness. Ask questions, such as How can I validate the accuracy of my statement? How is this information relevant? How does my conclusion address the complexities of the issue? What is another interpretation or viewpoint of the issue? Does my conclusion follow from the data and/or statements I have provided? Grading will be based on the following criteria: Critical Thinking Skills: the extent to which you have engaged in critical thinking, innovation, and inquiry of a political issue, and has demonstrated analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information related to the political issue; Communication Skills: the extent to which you have effectively expressed ideas in writing; Personal Responsibility: the ability you have to develop opinions related to a political topic, and recognize the consequences of those choices and decisions; Social Responsibility: the ability you have to demonstrate civic responsibility and engagement by developing an understanding and perspective of a political issue that affects regional, national, and potentially global communities. Submission Instructions:

Based upon the readings and lectures covering the three branches of Nevada State government, respond to the following. For each branch identify one unique characteristic that makes the branch more or less effective as a governmental entity. When preparing your post, clearly identify the characteristics you are discussing then construct a justification as to why you believe your chosen elements are unique, and have historically influenced—and continue to influence —the effectiveness of the chosen branch. For example: the legislative requirement for single issue bills requires that legislators be efficient and precise when constructing bills for consideration. It also prevents the presence of omnibus legislation. Instructions for Discussion posts: DO’s Due to the shortened nature of the course, your original post and a minimum of two responses to other students are both due no later than midnight of the due date. I encourage you to post your original post earlier than that so that other students can post responses! I also encourage you to regularly exceed the minimum number of responses to other students. It is required to reference source material (text or otherwise) using the (author’s name, page number) citation method. If the source is web based then a URL is required. Your original post is to be completed before you read and respond to others. Your post is to be a minimum of 250 and a maximum of 350 words, demonstrate critical thinking and collegiate writing skills, and reflect the week’s reading material. For an explanation of Critical Thinking criteria and a sample Discussion go to: Critical Thinking Explained.

This paper’s topic is decolonization. Lloyd in The British Empire (chapters 12-14) and Levine in The British Empire (chapter 11) both analyze decolonization but emphasize different things. The dismantling of the British Empire has been a complicated process and in some ways isn’t quite finished yet. Historians have developed different ways to evaluate the political and social underpinning of decolonization as well as the ongoing consequences. The two authors have different perspectives on how to understand the liberation of colonies across the globe from Britain. The question for you is which of the two authors presents the better explanation of decolonization. Which author has the better argument? Which has the better evidence? There is no single right answer so it’s up to you to assess both books for yourself. The important thing is for your paper to have an argument of its own. The introduction should have a clear thesis statement and specific supporting evidence. Don’t just say that Author X is confusing but explain why that author is confusing and give examples of the confusing parts.The only two sources I need you to use are:Chapter 11 The British Empire: Sunrise to Sunset by Philippa LevineChapter 12-14 The British Empire 1558-1995 2nd edition by T.O. LloydI DO NOT CARE WHAT STANCE YOU CHOOSE… just as long as you have a strong argument and an opinion
