•Your paper should have a strong and clear historical argument that uses the primary documents in support of your thesis.
•Do not just summarize the documents or quote from the editors’ introductions. You should seek to make an analytical argument, relying on the primary source documents contained in the document project for evidence.

•Please do not do any outside research.
