In a five-paragraph format essay (intro containing context and thesis, 3 body, conclusion), explain how growth and development shaped the United States and the lives of Americans from the Revolutionary period through the presidency of Andrew Jackson.

The purpose of the historical essay is to analyze historical facts in order to inform and persuade the reader. 

Essays include three parts: an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. I need an introduction in which you state your thesis (argument), multiple body paragraphs (see attached docs for a better outline) where you introduce and analyze evidence to support your thesis, and a conclusion.

Formatting and Sources

It must follow the appropriate guidelines specified.

1. Should be double-spaced, 12-point font, Times New Roman, pdf on google docs.
2. Underline or highlight your thesis and your main ideas (topic sentences).  
3. There is no length requirement, but a good A essay is usually three or more typed pages. 
4. Each paragraph should include at least three cited examples to support your main idea. There are 9 examples, 3 in each body paragraph. I will give you the examples you need to cover in each paragraph, you can distribute them to each paragraph as to make it coherant, but there must be 3 in each of the 3 body paragraphs.  
5. The examples: Federalism, Marbury v. madison, Era of good feelings, Monroe Doctrine, Indian Removal act, Second great awakening, Missouri Compromise, Market revolution, The Bank War. 
6. Do not worry about citations, do not use any outside references/books/online sources to write the essay. Just use the examples provided to write the essay.
7. The essay should generally avoid use of first/second person point-of-view (you, your, I, my, etc.). 
8. Also, make sure you cover the entire time period.
9. It would be really helpful if you could get it to me a bit earlier than the deadline so I can tweak or make changes as neccessary.
