tell me IN YOUR OWN WORDS, but using specific examples to support your information, What have you learned in this course?   Of course, while this might sound like an “open ended” question, I would like you to reflect on specific case studies/topics that were of most interest to you, or those events that led you to reexamine your own world view.-The Boston Massacre.

-you must address in ESSAY format at least THREE of the following four questions in formulating your response: 

1.Has your perspective toward one particular topic, event or era in American history as we have studied it changed at all?  If so, in what way has it changed? Rely on specific examples to support your position. 

2.In your opinion, what are some of the most significant changes that occurred in the United States since the point of settlement through the era of American Civil War?   Are there still unresolved conflicts similar to those that existed from 1600 – 1865? And, if so, what are they?  Use specific examples from the course topics to support your response.

3.At the conclusion of this course, how do you see yourself as a student of United States history?  Do you feel differently about the history of the United States than when you began the course and, if so, in what ways? Be as specific as possible in your explanation.
