I
nstructions -
Choose ONE prompt and write a complete 5 paragraph essay.
Write a first paragraph for each of the other 5 essays. As you gain
proficiency with this skill, the time you take to write a solid first
paragraph with a clear thesis should decrease.
When you take the AP test you will have a short period of time
where
you are expected to formulate your thoughts and not write the essay.
Your first goal during this time is to decide on a thesis and work to
deal with the issue and possible conflicts.
1. Evaluate
the different approaches taken by the various reform movements to the
problems of antebellum society? What role did the Second Great
Awakening and Romanticism play in these movements?
2. During
the 1830s and 1840s, abolitionists were almost as unpopular in the
North as they were in the South. Evaluate this statement,
indicating the major groups opposing the abolitionists and the reasons
for their opposition. What effect did Northern racism have on
both the abolitionists and on their opponents?
3. Even
without the moral question of slavery, the economic issues between the
North and the South severely strained relationships in the period
preceding the outbreak of civil war. What were the South's
specific economic grievances against the North in this period?
What measures did the South take to remedy its situation, and how
successful were these measures?
4. Identify
the factors that encouraged western migration after 1820. How did
the rising importance of the West influence the social, economic, and
political trends of the rest of the country in the antebellum period?
5.
Analyze
to what extent U.S. expansion during the period 1820 – 1860
was motivated by southern desires to spread the institution of
slavery.
6. Evaluate
the movement for women's rights in the 1830s and 1840s. What
tactics and arguments were used and how successful were their efforts?
First paragraph should include:
1. Description of the issue
2. If the issue includes a conflict, a short description of the conflict
***3. A thesis statement
