American history has served as a rich source of inspiration for plays, films, and books. Choose a genre-appropriated work from American history (or work influenced by American history) for this project, then write an analysis essay on it. Provide a brief synopsis of the historical events the work attempts to depict, the degree of fidelity of the adaptation, and the reasons you believe the adaptation altered some aspects of history (e.g., length, audience sensibilities, or merely to change the conclusion). Don't forget to cite the original work as well as academic sources that discuss the background of the adaptation or analysis. Remember there’s  should at least 1000 words. At least three academic sources, such as books or peer-reviewed journal articles, should be cited. Also make sure that you cite sources in the paper itself, even if you aren't quoting them directly. They should be cited to add their authority to the arguments that you are making.

Conduct research and produce a presentation on a turning point in

American history before 1900.

Conduct historical research.

Explain the research process.

Cite source of where you got your information from.

American history from the late 1800s through the pre-World War I era witnessed a transformation in foreign policy. Imagine that you are preparing the introduction to a book that will cover American foreign policy before 1914. You will need to give some succinct, but essential background, beginning with the changes that took place in foreign policy and the reasons for those changes during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

First, list at least three topics you will want to cover. Then write one paragraph about each one. The information should relate only to foreign policy, between 1867 and 1914.
