    American Century Spring Exam Essay Questions

    Directions: Below please find three essay questions. You will choose one to answer
    during the exam period. You may practice outlining and writing your essay ahead of
    time, but you will not be permitted to use anything during the exam.

    I will be looking for the following:

     Minimum of three paragraphs, not exceeding five.

     Each paragraph must have a minimum of three sentences.

     You must structure your essay so that it has an introduction, body


    paragraph(s) that include topic sentences that create a smooth transition,
    and a conclusion.

     Your introduction must include a thesis statement (an argument that a


    rational person could counter).

     Do not include the first person!

    Questions:

    1. Pick a decade in U.S. history between 1860-1970 and craft a thesis arguing why
    these ten years were most formative in the nation’s development. Justify your
    assertion by providing information on any conflict, leadership or legislation that
    made the years so memorable. You will need to be comfortable with dates!

    2. This semester we have studied the Civil War, the Indian Wars, the Spanish-
    American War, WWI, WWII, the Cold War and the Korean Conflict. Which wars
    necessitated American involvement and which wars didn’t? How have these
    conflicts shaped American attitudes towards war over time and influenced our
    foreign policy?

    3. We have discussed many people and events that have served to make the ideals of
    the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution a reality for the entire
    population of the United States. What were the three most important events or
    people who attempted to do this post-1860? What made them most important?
    *On Tuesday, provide a proper heading in the corner of your loose-leaf paper or
    exam blue books, then simply title your essay one of three things; Decade, Conflict,
    or Ideals.
