Outline

We have covered many noteworthy figures related to the colonizing and first 90 years of the United States. For this assignment, choose a significant figure who contributed to and influenced others during the time discussed in this course-with the exception of any U.S. President-and prepare an outline of how you would choose to communicate that figure's relevance to today. This is not a biography. The argument should highlight how society remembers the historical figure now.

Create a one-page outline about the chosen figure and how he or she impacted the evolution of American philosophies or ideals.

Question 1

Share a time when you have worked with someone from a different societal cluster. If you have not had the opportunity to do so, discuss how you believe that this interaction might materialize if you are in a position of leadership over this person.

Question 2

Why is Andrew Jackson's election considered a victory for the common man? Why do you think Jackson had popular appeal?

Question 3

Considering each of the factors that impacted women at this time, was this a beneficial period for women's rights? Your answer should include some reference to reform, the Market Revolution (industrial technologies), and expansion.

Question 4

Describe the political impact and innovation in the following events: the American System, the Corrupt Bargain, and the Era of Good Feelings. Discuss which you feel had the greatest impact on Jackson's administration and/or early 19th-century America.
