Only ONE of the prompts will be given on the exam.
Your essay should have an introduction with thesis statement, body paragraphs with evidence supporting your thesis, and a conclusion paragraph. (A) During the Age of Exploration three European nations (Spain, England, and France) came to dominate the “New World”. Using evidence from class compare the colonization methods each of these nations used. Also, explain how their methods impacted the long-term success each nation experienced in the “New World”. (B) There are pivotal periods in all nations’ histories when direction of the country appears to suddenly change. These transformations, however, are never really inexplicable and generally only represent acceleration of change already present.
Consider two important periods in American history: (1) the period between the French and Indian War and the American Revolution and (2) the writing of the Constitution and formation of the early government during the Early Republic. Explain, using evidence from class, in what ways and why the course of American history was altered so dramatically during each of the two periods. (C) The period of Reconstruction (1865-1877) following the Civil War is probably one of the most controversial and turbulent times in United States history. Using evidence from class which include the Reconstruction plans, legislation of the time, social changes, as well as the compromise which ended it explain whether or not you believe Reconstruction was a success or failure.
