US History Christensen

Did Andrew Jackson expand or limit democracy in the United States? We’ve been discussing the legacy of Andrew Jackson for several days. You should now have a clear understanding of the myriad controversies surrounding his presidency. Your job is to judge him for yourself. Using your textbook reading (chapter seven, sections three and four), our class discussions, and the DBQ document packet, answer the question above with a thoughtful essay. For this essay, you should pick one or the other, expand or limit. The specifics: • • • •

• • •

Your essay should have an introduction, a meaningful conclusion, and an appropriate number of body paragraphs. Your essay should have a strong claim (thesis) in your introduction. Each body paragraph should have a topic sentence that connects it to your thesis. You should have evidence and explain that evidence clearly in each paragraph. You should cite the document packet and your textbook several times. Your citations should come at the end of the sentence and look like this if they are from the document packet (Document C). If it is a quote it should look like this, “I am a quote from the textbook” (Danzer 234). You do NOT need a bibliography for this assignment. It should be typed, 12 point font, one inch margins, double spaced, 2-3 pages long. It is DUE Tuesday, November 24 at the beginning of class. If it is not turned in at the beginning of class (printed stapled, handed to me) it is LATE.

Good Luck, or, as Andrew Jackson might say, Good Luck you crazy varmints!
