Discussion Post: History
As you watch both of the lectures and do the reading, answer the following discussion questions to participate in the optional discussion forum this week.
• What did you find particularly exciting, interesting, or challenging about the assigned content? Make sure to cite both lectures in response to this question.
• Historians always include a main argument in their writing. They provide historical evidence to support their argument. What do you think historian Carol Karlsen's main argument is in the reading? What does the question of inheritance have to do with which women were accused of witchcraft in late 17th century New England?
Also, find and include two pieces of concrete historical evidence in the reading that Carol Karlsen uses to support her argument? (More information a previous page in this module about what historical evidence is).
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
