Fourth of July Response Paper
Previous Next
The second exam assignment in this course is the composition of a Response Paper that measures critical thinking and analysis of a statement about a topic reviewed in United States History through the Civil War. This paper is a written essay and students are instructed to interpret assigned readings, course content, and external research where relevant. The Response Paper illustrates original analysis, evaluation of primary sources, and consideration of the overall topic through a composed response (argument) to a statement about a topic reviewed in American history. Students are required to compose an essay that demonstrates their argument (thesis) as an analysis and representation of interpretation and evaluates primary sources in response to and discussion of the statement.
Frederick Douglass was born a slave in 1818, escaped in 1838, and according to Eric Foner, the “most influential African American of the nineteenth century and the nation’s preeminent advocate of racial equality.”[1] His first autobiography published to immediate success in 1845, and he spoke frequently on slavery, freedom, and equality throughout his life. He died in 1895.
In 1852, Douglass was invited to give a speech commemorating the Fourth of July, in which he asked the question “What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July?”[2] For your consideration of Douglass and response in this assignment, historian David W. Blight, whose 2018 biography of Douglass won the Pulitzer Prize, identified his significance in American history thusly: “Above all, Douglass is remembered most for telling his personal story—the slave who willed his own freedom, mastered the master’s language, saw to the core of the meaning of slavery, both for individuals and for the nation, and then captured the multiple meanings of freedom—as idea and reality, of mind and body—as perhaps no one else ever has in America.”[3]
In response to the Abolitionist Movement and Frederick Douglass, discussed in chapters 11 and 12 of Give Me Liberty! An American History, read the excerpt of Douglass’s 1852 speech, “What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?” (referenced on p. 348 and included on pp. A85-A90 of the MCC Custom edition). Answer the following essay questions for your response. Composition of a response is timed to take at most 80 minutes (though it is not timed within Brightspace). Your submission should be compiled as an essay with paragraphs.
How did Douglass characterize slavery and the celebration of the Fourth of July in his speech?
How do the ideas of freedom, liberty, and American history (such as the Declaration of Independence) factor in Douglass’s description of the Fourth of July and slavery?
Do you think the speech represented most Abolitionists’ thinking at the time? Why or why not?
Explain the meanings of slavery, the Fourth of July, and freedom in American society of the 19th century as documented in Douglass’s speech and the materials presented in the course textbook and module content.
Assessment
The objective of this assignment is for you to gain insight into Douglass’s perspective, as an abolitionist and former slave, of abolishing slavery and expanding equality and freedom to all Americans. Answering and explaining the questions with examples achieves this goal and demonstrates the significance of Douglass and his speech to American history. A rubric is utilized to grade and provide feedback on this assignment.
You are expected to provide a developed response that is specific and clear in the composition and discussion of the topic and includes a strong argument at the core of the response. You should strive to demonstrate understanding and interpretation through critical analysis of assigned readings, primary sources, and presented content, and provide a strongly developed, discussed, and defended thesis.
A thesis statement illustrates an argument about the topic that proves you have evaluated the topic and formed a unique interpretation through critical analysis of presentations, discussions, and assigned readings. When you compose your response, write to convince me that your essay provides the best answer for the topics by including a thesis statement (underline it for clear identification) and using effective examples and discussions to prove your argument in the answer and explanation.
Cite all examples used in your response. While Chicago-style footnote citations are preferred for a history paper, MLA or APA formatting (typically in parenthetical format) is accepted. Model citations are included in these instructions and should be attached to any example (quoted) or paraphrased section from assigned materials.

R Studio and Power BI

For the following problem use Power BI and R-Studio. Use the former for visualizations and the latter for statistical analyses. You can also do this project in Excel but that will be graded out of a total of 5 points instead of 10.
An apparel store ran a promotion in which discount coupons were sent to customers of other National Clothing stores. Data collected for a sample of 100 in-store credit card transactions during one day while the promotion was running are contained in the attached file. The Proprietary Card method of payment refers to charges made using a National Clothing charge card. Customers who made a purchase using a discount coupon are referred to as promotional customers and customers who made a purchase but did not use a discount coupon are referred to as regular customers. Because the promotional coupons were not sent to regular stores customers, management considers the sales made to people presenting the promotional coupons as sales it would not otherwise make. The store also hopes that the promotional customers will continue to shop at its stores.
Most of the variables shown in the Table are self-explanatory, but two of the variables require some clarification.
Items
The total number of items purchased
Net Sales
The total amount ($) charged to the credit card
Management would like to use this sample data to learn about its customer base and to evaluate the promotion involving discount coupons.
Use the tabular and graphical methods of descriptive statistics to help management develop a customer profile and to evaluate the promotional campaign. At a minimum, your report should include the following:
Make different types of descriptive statistics using R. Choose relevant stats yourself.
Frequency distribution for key variables (see instructions at the bottom)
A bar chart or pie chart showing the number of customer purchases attributable to the method of payment (see instructions at the bottom)
Type of customer (regular or promotional) versus net sales. Support your answers with some of the followings: correlation, scatter plot, regression. Choose the relevant tests yourself.
A scatter diagram to explore the relationship between net sales and customer age.
High-quality visuals made in Power BI
Please note that your analysis should not be limited to the above points, but explore yourself which statistical tests/visuals may facilitate better understanding the problem and making better decisions.
Report format: A 5 pages professionally made report; with clear visuals, and snapshots from R-Studio. At least one paragraph at the end about your conclusions.
Useful syntax
For frequency distribution in R, use table function table (variable names); For bar graph use the above table as input –> barplot(above table)
