TOPIC: This is a “mini” research paper. Your topic is the Jim Crow Laws and them being a consequence of the American Civil War. Include a clear and argumentative thesis that you will defend throughout the paper. You must also include a strong conclusion that restates your argument and explains how you have proven your case.
Feedback from previously written paper, also see attached:
“Joshua, your sources summaries and research are excellent! You have a strong writing style and this is very well-written. Your questions and thesis are not definitive on your timeline. The Civil War is not part of this course, so be sure in your final project your topic is focused after 1877.”
