Question Description
DISCUSSION READINGS
John Smith Preston on Secession
Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861
INSTRUCTIONS
You will read the above two speeches (John Smith Preston, Abraham Lincoln), and answer all of the following questions in your essay:
a) JOHN PRESTON SMITH: Is it legal for southern states to secede from the Union? What has the North done to cause southern states to leave the Union?
and
b) ABRAHAM LINCOLN: Can states break away (secede) from the Union? Why or Why not? What are Lincoln's views toward the South? What are his duties as President of the United Sates?
Your essay should be a minimum of 2 pages, and you should spend AT LEAST one page discussing EACH position (one page discussing the Preston perspective and one page discussing the Lincoln perspective). Remember, two pages is the minimum, and minimum essays normally score a C. If you want a higher grade, plan to be comprehensive in your coverage of the readings (there is no maximum page limit). Your answer should reflect the main points from both readings, and use examples from the documents to illustrate your main points.
Be sure to proof your essay before submitting it as errors in grammar and spelling will lead to a deduction in points. Use quotations when using the exact wording from the reading and cite the reading at the end of the sentence [ex: if you quoted from the Lincoln reading, simply put (Lincoln, 2) at the end of the sentence which shows me which document and page the quote is from]. As per the instructions in the syllabus, most of the essay should be in your own words and include your own analysis of the readings. Quotes are ok, but remember, your paper should not include more than 15% quoted material (some of you have been using up to 40% quotes in your postings and essay, which is far too much). Please be sure to re-read the "Guidelines for Essays" in the syllabus before writing the essay.
Use only the above sources for this assignment: DO NOT USE ANY OUTSIDE SOURCES FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. If you do, you will receive a “0” for the assignment. Your essay should be uploaded as Word document (no PDF files). Your essay is due no later than 11:59pm on April 15.
