Unfinished Nation.
Paper instructions:
WRITING ASSIGNMENT #4A: Completing the Revolution
In some ways the Civil War completed the American Revolution. The ideals boldly proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, that “all men are created equal”, were now being somewhat realized. The reality was that at the end of Reconstruction the United States was still in fact an “unfinished nation,” and that it will be the Civil Rights era and its accomplishments that completed the revolution.
INSTRUCTIONS
In order to prepare you must complete the following readings:
Review and identify relevant sections of Chapters 29.
Review and identify relevant sections of chapters that have been covered throughout the semester.

Prepare and Submit:
Write a well organized essay, a minimum of 700 words (but not limited to), including supporting details from the documents/textbook/other sources, in which you analyze and discuss the material that has been assigned and that you have gathered by addressing the following:
Discuss how the United States was an “unfinished nation” and how the accomplishments of the Civil Rights era completed the process, and in your opinion, is the United States currently a “finished nation” or is there still “unfinished business” that needs to be addressed?
Reminders
Paragraphs in an essay are not numbered. Any questions that are associated with an assigned reading are there to serve as a guide for your discussion.
Your discussion should incorporate all of the information from the documents and or textbook, and outside sources as one essay.
Students are required to research and incorporate into their discussions additional sources that relate to the content.Recommendations can be found in at the end of textbook chapter in Additional Reading.
All statements must be supported and all sources must be identified and cited, and included in your reference list. This also applies to the textbook. Failure to do so constitutes Plagiarism, and the college has strict policies and penalties for failure to comply. Under the Resources tab you will find links to sites that review how to format a paper or essay. I recommend that students use APA or Chicago Style to format their essay. Students should ask their instructor which format style they prefer you to use.
Proofread your work. Make sure that you have looked for all of the spelling and grammatical errors and corrected them, and that you have organized your work into coherent paragraphs.
Prepare the assignment as a Word Document, double-spaced and using a standard font of 12 points.
