What were periods of strides forward and setbacks?

Trace Virginia’s civil
rights struggle from the colonial era through today. What were periods of
strides forward and setbacks? Identify a current issue (since 2010) in Virginia
that has its roots in that struggle.
The research paper must be written in current Turabian
format, double spaced in 12 pt. font, have a minimum of 3 scholarly sources
(not counting the textbook or Bible), and be a minimum of 5 full pages in length
(not counting a title page or the bibliography).
The research paper must contain a properly formatted
bibliography and in-text citations (footnotes) for all direct quotations and
paraphrases from your sources. Any paper lacking both will receive an automatic
25% grade reduction.
Only scholarly sources may be used for this paper, as
outlined in the course syllabus. This includes the use of books, scholarly articles, and primary
sources. Websites that end with .gov, .mil, or .edu are also permitted for use.
A scholarly source is one that has been written by a scholar or an
expert in a field of study and has been peer-reviewed and/or published. Most
websites that show up with a Google search do not fall under this category. A
good rule of thumb is if a website ends with .com, .org, or .net, it is a
popular history source, and not a scholarly one, even if it is credible. When
you write your paper, begin with an introduction. In it, include a brief
mention of the main points you will cover in your paper. End it with a thesis
statement that those main points are going to prove—the main argument in your
paper that you want your reader to walk away convinced is true. Your thesis
statement should mention Virginia, since your paper is about Virginia history,
and it should also include some sort of phrasing that directly ties to the
prompt you are responding to (traditional approaches to government, the
federalism/anti-federalism debate, or the struggle over civil rights).
In
the body of your paper, move through each of your main points, going more into
depth about them and including properly cited examples that support them.
Create new paragraphs for each topic you cover in each point, connecting them
to your previous topic with analysis. After you finish explaining a main point,
use analysis to show your reader how it supports your main thesis, then move on
to the next main point and repeat the process.
The
concluding paragraph should briefly recount how you used your main points to
prove the thesis of the paper. It should not introduce any new points. It is
your last chance to reiterate your main ideas—make the most of it!
When you write for academic assignments, be sure to
follow the best practices for formal writing. Those include:
· Always
write in formal language. Avoid colloquialisms and contractions.
· Always
write in the third person (he, she, it…), never first person (I, we, me…).
· Avoid
run-on sentences and sentence fragments. Make sure you can identify the subject
and verb in every sentence.
· When
writing about historical things, stay in the past tense.
· Only
use apostrophes to make nouns possessive, never plural.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality
via the SafeAssign plagiarism tool.
