Compare and contrast how Senator James O. Eastland, Democrat of Mississippi, and Fannie Lou Hamer, a civil rights activist, defined freedom

write one essay that will ask you to compare and contrast how Senator James O. Eastland, Democrat of Mississippi, and Fannie Lou Hamer, a civil rights activist, defined freedom. The essay will be graded according to their content (the paper’s organization, analysis and originality) as well as their presentation (the use of correct syntax, absence of misspellings and standard bibliographic format). The best essays will present a clear thesis statement that is supported with concrete examples and is written in a clear and concise manner. A Pocket Guide to Writing in History is an excellent resource for students learning how to craft a historical essay. So too are your teaching assistants. We will discuss these assignments in class in greater detail.
