some issue or event in American History from 1771 through 1799


1) Explain your specific topic in a 4-6 paragraph essay covering the who, what, where, why and how of the subject.  You must include which reading or video the topic came from.

2) Give four non Wikipedia specific web link sources in URL form [NOT a search result URL and NOT a general URL that fails to take people directly to the specific information].

3) Ask a question about the subject.  Questions should NOT have simple answers.  For example, do NOT ask what year did X happen or where did X happen?  Do not ask pointless and obscure questions such as “whose name is on such and such a monument”.  Questions should be more complex.  For example you could as why did the North win the Civil War?

4) You must reply to at least five other student’s initial question and to all students that reply to your question.  Give your sources that support your claim for your answer.  Do NOT just answer off the top of your head – give evidence.  Do NOT post to another student’s post later than Friday of the second week so they have time to respond to you before the Roundtable closes.
