Signature Assignment
Throughout the HIST 1700 course, I was asked to write multiple critical analyses and writing assignments in relation to the topics discussed sequentially in the lectures. The two pieces of my best works that I picked are one critical analysis called "Amistad" and one writing assignment called "Economic Revolution and Sectional Strife." The critical analysis is about a slave ship called Amistad that was used to carry slaves from Cuba to the United States. The writing assignment is mainly about significant events and outcomes of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
