Paper 1: <\/p>\n
Must be 3 pages.<\/p>\n
Among the biggest problems with U.S history (and history in
\ngeneral) is the resurgence and viral spread of long-discredited, simplistic
\nnational myths. These are often uncomplicated tales of \u201cgreat men doing great
\nthings\u201d and expanding nations or limited stories that ignore the range of diverse
\npeoples and places across North America. Most of these mythic histories reach
\nback centuries and have demonstrated phenomenal staying power. These myths have
\nboth been perpetuated and debunked by historians.<\/p>\n
In each paper, you will choose one distorted claim made
\nabout the United States before 1800. Then, you will select a set of primary
\nsources from the given sources to analyze to disprove that myth.<\/p>\n

\nshould be statements from enslavers, government officials, traders, plantation
\nowners, or other observers and describe slavery in other regions. (You can
\nquote
\nan historian-author saying that slavery was definitively the cause\u2013and that\u2019s a
\ngreat idea for your essay\u2013but it doesn\u2019t count as one of your primary sources
