Part 1
1. Other than ceasefire, what do you feel is the most significant cultural result of the War of 1812 on today? Why?
2. Did Madison, Monroe, and John Quincy Adams successfully represent the Party as Jefferson intended when he founded it? Where might Jefferson have directly fought against his successors?
3. Is the term Republican Motherhood misleading? Using at least one example from the reading, explain how this gender expectation impacted American culture during the Jeffersonian period.
Part 2
1. Other than Gettysburg or Vicksburg, make an argument for the single event you deem the most significant to the legacy of the American Civil War on reforms that are present in today's American Society, and explain your choice. You may choose from political, military, economic, or social impact. Your choice should include setting, timeline, major figures, catalysts, outcomes, and statistics (if a battle). More than just a recap, this needs to explain why this is still significant today and use evidence from the past to talk about the present.
2. Introduce the debate surrounding abolition vs. equality and how it led to the American Civil War. Why were there significant fears about the impact of freed slaves in the North? Who had the most to win/lose?
