The question is: What economic and social/demographic changes occurred during Market Revolution of the early 1800’s? What were the benefits and drawbacks? NOTE: Be sure to research the Market Revolution (sometimes called the First Industrial Revolution) of the early 19th century, not the Second Industrial Revolution of the late 19th century.

Essay Checklist
General:
MUST BE SUBMITTED AS A WORD DOCUMENT.
Use MLA formatting, and include your name, class, professors name, and date
title the paper with the question
Uses Times New Roman 12 with regular margins, double spaced
Essay consists of at least 5 distinct paragraphs, including an introduction, a conclusion and at least three body paragraphs that are organized by topic
Essay is a minimum of three pages of text (this is an estimation for a passing paper, not necessarily an A paper)
Essay meets all requirements presented in other directions
Introduction:
Provides clear and interesting background information and context, sets the stage for the events (major people, places, dates, themes, ideas, terms, events, etc.)
Provides thesis (i.e. reworks the question into a clear statement that provides an answer). Thesis should meet the following criteria: it is debatable, it informs the reader of the writers’ point of view, and it answers the question
Provides roadmap (outlines the topics of the body paragraphs and major issues to be discussed in the body)
Analysis:
ANSWER THE QUESTION! Don’t just summarize events and evidence (though some of that is necessary). Use the evidence to support your argument (which is your answer to the question, or thesis) and provide meaningful document analysis. Document analysis means to break apart pieces of the document, investigate and explain the meaning, provide historical context (is the document a reaction to something going on at the time?), etc.
Evidence is used appropriately and takes context (time, place, speaker) into account
No more than 20% of the writing is direct quotes
Ideas are presented in an organized way
Quotes are used sparingly but effectively
Bases argument on evidence and facts from the documents, NOT uninformed opinion or emotion
Think of yourself as a lawyer in a courtroom drama. You have evidence (the sources) that proves your case (argument). Your job is to make a clear, convincing argument, based on the evidence and other ideas, which proves your case. Do exactly that when writing these papers.
Conclusion:
Rephrases the thesis in a new and fresh way
May provides an “although” statement that recognizes but trumps opposing argument
Does not rely on emotional or theatrical phrases to bring an end to the essay (PLEASE don’t ever say “If this had not happened then the US would not be what it is today.” That can be said for every event ever, and besides, is the US so perfect that it could not stand to be different?)
Restates your main ideas without being repetitive
Does not introduce new evidence. Deals with the big ideas but uses the topics and themes discussed in the body
Mechanics:
NO first person pronouns (I, me, we, us, my)
NO second person pronouns (you) “one” can be used when necessary, but it rarely is
Stay in the past tense
Avoid these words: thing, something, nothing, anything, everything, stuff, always, never
Avoid absolute terms like: all, nothing, never, always, etc. (they are rarely accurate in history)
Don’t make generalizations that you cannot support
NO expression of opinion or feeling
No rhetorical questions (this means don’t incorporate questions into your paper because no one is going to respond)
Use proper punctuation AND punctuation should follow citation if one is used
*Quotation marks should NOT include the citation It should look like this: “from sea to shining sea” (J. Polk).
*Does not overuse pronouns (they, them, their, his, her, he, she, etc.)
*Properly cites all sources used (cite a source used even if you don’t use a direct quote.)
*Follow ALL direct quotes with a citation at the end of the sentence
*in-text citations should be in parenthesis and cite author (or title if not author is provided) and a page number if applicable. EX: (Shi, 21).
Provide the full MLA citation for the textbook, like this: Shi, David. America: The Essential Learning Edition, 2nd Edition. New York: Norton, 2018.
Elearn sources should be cited with the author (if available) and a short title. EX: (Zinn, Columbus) or (Slave Codes, 1705). That’s it!
NOTE: When citing an Elearn source/link that contains more than one document, cite the most specific title EX: cite the more specific (Lincoln on the Perpetuity of States) not the more broad Elearn link (Debates over Secession)
researched sources should be cited in a full MLA format.
The attachment is needed to help complete the essay. I will post everything else that is need in the comments.
