In other words, I want you to create a presentation of your research. Using any presentation software, such as PowerPoint, create a presentation of a historical topic that falls within the parameters of the course (US History to 1865), take a position, and present your findings. The minimum slide requirement is 10, but don't stop at there. Use as many slides as you see necessary to prove your point.

1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
