The most advantageous event in American History, which was truly beneficial to the country or (b) the the greatest tragedy/disaster in American History, which was truly detrimental to the well-being and/or reputation of this country. To place it in the most elementary terms: What was the greatest or best thing ever to have taken place in American History or, in contra, what was the worst.
Remember that the major goal of your writing is to prove something. Therefore, you should establish, most likely in your first paragraph, a bona fide thesis statement. I would recommend you use the following language: “The purpose of this paper is to prove……..” Then present your arguments or the findings of your research.
You will find that essentially everything you write serves, in one way or another, to convince another person of your position.
It may be helpful to review what is involved in composing a paper so that it is in conformity with the APA. (I believe they are currently at the “7th Edition or Revision.”)
Papers are to be ten pages in length not counting a cover or title page, and the reference page, as to resources used.
Furthermore, you are to use, at the very minimum five resources be they a traditional publication in book form and/or a resource as found on the internet. Also each and every reference cited should be within that of a five year period.
This paper is due August 21, 2023. I would like to make it later but I have discovered it takes me a great deal of time to read what you have written.
