Project description
Andrew Jackson was a polarizing and complex figure in American history. Which of the following best represents your view of Jackson? Be sure to back up your argument with specific examples from the historical record.
a. He was one of our greatest presidents and is worthy of gracing the $20 bill
b. He was the tyrant that the Whigs accused him of being
c. Like most presidents he was neither a saint nor a devil – I believe Jackson was a good president with faults.
d. While not the tyrant the Whigs made him out to be, I believe that Jackson’s policies were generally more bad than good for the country
(provide evidence and HISTORICAL ACCURACY, CLARITY, AND LOGIC)
Your paper should begin with an Introduction which sets the prompt in the historical context, the LAST sentence of the intro paragraph is the thesis statement which lists the (minimum of) three points (X,Y,Z) that will be more fully developed in the paper. The first paragraph of the body (paragraph 2) would discuss key point X (this paragraph would have its own thesis as the first sentence, followed by three pieces of evidence/analysis in support), then a paragraph on Y, and finally one on Z. It should ends with a conclusion paragraph – which sums up the argument you made and ties X, Y, and Z together.
