One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents, scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this research. After reading your text and reviewing the assigned materials, submit an analysis of Women’s Reform Movements in the 1840s and 1850s. Consider the following questions: Why did women begin joining reform movements at this point in American history? Why do you think the causes of abolitionism and women’s rights were so intertwined in the early years of these movements? What do you think the reformers accomplished or failed to accomplish?
This assignment should be 500 words in length. For full credit, your paper must not simply sum up the reading or repeat points made there. Rather, I am looking for you to create your own interpretation, explain the emotional content of the piece, or discuss some original insight. Include Turabian-style citations as needed. Be sure to stay in third-person throughout the paper. Also, insure that you upload one of the approved SafeAssign file types, and click the SafeAssign box during the submission process. Failure to submit an approved file type or to submit the paper through the SafeAssign plagiarism checker will result in a zero for the assignment. Finally, there will be no individual extensions for any reason, and to discourage procrastination, I will not answer questions about the assignment on the day it is due.
