Status: Completed
There are two prompts, but they are to be written separately (preferably 3 pages each). No cover page or bibliography. I prefer that you use APA citations. No external sources, only the primary sources and in-class presentations I provide can be used for this paper. You must include some information from the movie "Birth of a Nation" by D.W. Griffith that ties to the second argument. It's due on Friday the 9th at 5:00 pacific standard time.

Instruction
This midterm consists of two questions—you must answer both.
Your take-home midterm response should total 5-6 pages in length for the entire exam (not for each question). It also must be double-spaced, using 12 point font. You must cite your work in MLA or APA format, whether you’re paraphrasing (putting information into your own words) or quoting. Always paraphrase (put information in your own words) before using a quotation. Citations must be done parenthetically (eg. Dr. Tanya Hart, lecture, October 9, 2018), or as footnotes or endnotes. I will take off points for incorrect or missing citations. Use the citation handout in Courses with this exam, email me, or get assistance from the Writing Center.
The Rules:
No work cited pages, bibliographies or cover pages!
You may only use A People and a Nation, lecture notes, primary documents, and films viewed so far in this course to write your midterm. You may not use any other sources.
Each answer MUST have an argument and pertinent supports.
Your final edited midterm file must be uploaded as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf document into TURNITIN in Courses by 5:00 PM PST Tuesday, November 6, 2018.
TASK: Think the questions through clearly and take your time in constructing your arguments. There are many ways you can go with each.
I’m looking for well thought-out thesis statements, how you support your arguments, what examples you use, and how you explain why you’ve used them. REMEMBER TO USE the textbook, lecture notes, primary source documents and films for your source materials. Don’t use any other sources.
When answering these questions, take control of your writing by defining words and ideas carefully. Never assume that I (or any other reader) knows what’s in your head if you haven’t carefully explained yourself on paper.
1. In 1764, Thomas Pownall, a former royal governor of Massachusetts and a man highly esteemed by British policymakers for his keen insight into colonial economic affairs, told them that the diversity, expansiveness, and disruptiveness of colonial life made American self-rule an impossibility. “The different manner in which they are settled,” he stated, along with “the different modes under which they live, the different forms of charters, grants, and frame of government, will keep the several provinces and colonies perpetually independent of, and unconnected with each other, and dependent on the mother country.”
a. Discuss three examples in the period from 1600-1763, as taken from A People and a Nation, lectures, and primary documents and films that could have supported Pownall’s assertions.
b. Then explain how, after 1764, revolutionaries overcame these obstacles to refute Pownall and forge anti-British support for the coming revolution.
2. In Ken Burns’ The Civil War documentary, Jefferson Davis, the man whom southern secessionists had chosen just few years earlier to be the president of the Confederate States of America, said in 1865 that “[i]f the Confederacy fails, there should be written on its tombstone, “Died of a theory.” What did he mean? Why? Critique his statement. You must take slavery, racism and the outcome of the Civil War into your considerations. Trace these issues, using at least eight examples from 1783-1877 in your essay.
