Write a history of the United States and identify where you (as an individual) fit into this history you tell, in 500 words or less. Just like how professional historians write, this is an assignment that requires you to explain and interpret U.S. history, as you know it. Thus, there are no "right" factual answers nor is it necessary to provide abundant examples, so do not look anything up or consult textbooks or other materials. Thoughtful interpretation of what you do know is most important.
