Give Me Liberty

Select one paragraph from Eric Foner's Give Me Liberty! that you think has something to say about the content and theme of the primary source
document.
In a cogent, well-argued, four-paragraph essay, explain what specific language in the primary source has to do with specific language in the
secondary source (Give Me Liberty!).
Recommendation: start with your close reading of the primary source, then relate it to what you take to be Foner's argument about the topic in Give
Me Liberty! How does your close reading relate to his contentions about the topic, time period, or themes you noticed in the primary source? Do your
and his readings line up? Are they opposed? Is there some more subtle difference? Try to explain the relationship of your interpretation to his with
precision and clarity.
Be sure to include citations when you refer to a source (primary or secondary). Use Chicago Manual of Style (Links to an external site.). Sources from
Eric Foner's Voices of Freedom should be cited with both the original source as he cites it, and then "reprinted in Voices of Freedom, ed. Eric
Foner…." For more on citation, see Citing Your Sources Using Chicago Manual of Style.
