Demonstrate respectful disagreement or persuasion.

Demonstrate in your letter how some incident, writing, or challenge from U.S. History (1877-1939) may provide some guidance in addressing the contemporary issue you identified (the subject of your letter)

Citing the evidence in the letter in footnotes ( or endnoteyou can include references

Advocate in your editorial a specific course of action that may help to address the challenge you wish to address. The specific course of action you advocate should be informed by the lessons of the past (use historical evidence/examples to show why the course of action you propose is the way to address the issue you identified).

Your editorial may certainly engage in critique, but it should model civility, respect for alternative views, and, above all, it should address theory, science, and/or policy, and not engage in personal attacks or verbal insults
