Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, has been described as having had a very engaging personality. Even people who disagreed with his policies, found themselves drawn to his attractive and carefully honed public image. Surrounded by tough, energetic administrators who insulated him from many of the pressures of the office, he seemed to offer general guidance but not make specific decisions. His presidency was also mired in a series of scandals, but the most damaging was the Iran-contra scandal. After a series of investigations and congressional hearings, the White House conceded that it had sold weapons to the revolutionary government in Iran, and used some of the money to illegally aid the Contras in Nicaragua. This was in direct violation of the Boland Amendment.
In order to prepare for this discussion forum: Review material on this site on the Reagan administration
Please answer the following question:
Should Reagan (or the policies of any past presidents) be credited with the collapse of world communism, or was the end of the Cold War more a result of internal developments within the Soviet Union and the nations it dominated?

President Lincoln’s goal for reconstruction remained linked to his goal in the war-preserve the Union. His plan favored leniency, in order to as quickly as possible reintegrate the south, and gain the support of Southern Unionists (mostly former Whigs). Radical Republicans urged a much harsher course, believing that the South was unrepentant and should bear the costs of Reconstruction.
INSTRUCTIONS:In order to prepare you must complete the following readings:
Review the following sections in Chapter 15: “Radical Reconstruction in the South” and “The Overthrow of Reconstruction” along with the linked document, taken from the writings of William A. Dunning.
Review and identify relevant information on the linked PBS America Experience site, Reconstruction The Second Civil War
Utilize at least one of the linked sources to support your discussion.
Identify and incorporate at least one additional outside source to support your discussion. In addition to the textbook, you may use any material outside of the textbook that is recommended in the Additional Reading section at the end of each chapter. You are also encouraged to do your own research and identify relevant sources. Please keep in mind that WIKIPEDIA is not an acceptable reference.
PREPARE AND SUBMIT:Write a well-organized essay, a minimum of 700 words (but not limited to), including supporting details from the documents/textbook/other sources in which you analyze and discuss the material that has been assigned by addressing the following question:
In your opinion, were the Radical Republicans correct in their assumptions regarding the South, or could Lincoln’s approach have paved the way for a continuation of the political, social, and economic gains that African Americans had achieved during Reconstruction? Support your argument(s) including information from assigned and linked readings
RemindersUse Microsoft WORD to write the essays. The acceptable submission file types are .doc, .docx, and .rtf. No Pages documents.
Prepare the assignment as a Word Document, double-spaced, and using a standard 12-point font.
Paragraphs in an essay are not numbered. Any questions that are associated with an assigned reading are there to serve as a guide for your discussion.
Your discussion should incorporate all of the information from the documents and or textbook, and outside sources as one essay.
Students are required to research and incorporate into their discussions additional sources that relate to the content. Recommendations can be found at the end of the textbook chapter in Additional Reading.
All statements must be supported, and all sources must be identified and cited, and included in your reference list. This also applies to the textbook. Failure to do so constitutes Plagiarism, and the college has strict policies and penalties for failure to comply. Under the Resources, you will find links to sites that review how to format a paper or essay. I recommend that students use APA or Chicago Style to format their essays. Students should ask their instructor which format style they prefer you to use.

Proper Citation of Sources.
When writing papers which use information from researched sources, it is necessary to provide complete and correct documentation to show the source of all words and ideas which are not those of the student. Failure to cite a source implies that the information used is the original work of the paper writer – a form of stealing known as “plagiarism.” In the college class, plagiarism is grounds for failure, no matter how well written the rest of the paper may be.
Do not use first person or contractions when writing. Also, remember that a successful term paper is not one that is written at the last moment, rather it is one that has been thought out, written, edited, and edited some more (you may consider turning in a rough draft or talking with me prior to the due date if you are unsure about how to approach writing the paper). Make sure you proofread! Nothing detracts from a paper (or grade) worse than a poorly written, mistake-filled paper and include a comprehensive introduction with clear thesis statement.
When writing this research paper, you should attempt to address the following questions in the last page. :
Why is this person or event important in World Civilization I?
Does this individual or event represent an aspect that helped shape World Civilization I?
Would World Civilization I be different if not for the actions of this person or the occurrence of the events?

Follow these instructions exactly as written.
This project will consist of five slides. Do not submit more than five slides. THIS IS A PRESENTATION.
The first slide will contain all heading information
Go to the website, ‘I Side With.’ You will find this at the following link: I Side With. When you access this site, you will find, on the very first page, a section called ‘Popular Issues…’ Then, click on ‘All Issues…’ to expand your choices. You should see at least 100 issues to choose from. Choose three issues that interest you. You MUST choose one topic from the Science category, and you MUST choose one topic from the Criminal category. You will be writing on these issues to see how certain people in different states and with different political affiliations view the most pressing political matters.
You will create one slide for each topic using the chart below.
Use the chart below to provide your responses to the prompts. It can be copied and pasted into your document. You must follow the instructions carefully, step-by-step. YOU MUST USE THE CHART FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. NO EXCEPTIONS!
1. Select your topic by clicking on the box. This topic will be in the form of a question. Type out (or copy) that question in the top row of your chart.
2. Write a summary of the paragraph you see directly underneath your chosen topic/question. This must be in your own words, and should be not less than 50 words.
3. In the second section, you will find two columns in the first row…one marked ‘Yes’ and one marked ‘No,’ each with a percentage. Make note of these numbers. They are larger and in bold, and constitute the overall percentage. Put these numbers in your chart.
4. Underneath that (this is the second row), you will find ‘Yes’ and ‘No,’ with no explanation, and underneath that row (this is the third row), you will find statements that also begin with the words ‘Yes’ and ‘No,’ but have explanations as to why voters voted the way that they did. Choose the most popular answer (again, this is the third row in this section), make note of the percentage, then read the reason given by voters and, in your own words, explain why voters voted the way that they did. You will do this for both the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ columns, and your responses should be not less than 25 words each. Do not copy from the website.
5. Next, move to the ‘Historical Importance’ section and note the month and year that this topic you chose showed the most agreement between ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ voters (when the blue and green lines ran most parallel with one another, or even on top of each other). Then, explain why you believe voters came closest during that time. This requires outside research and your response should be not less than 50 words. Note: At least one of your references (outside sources) MUST relate to the research you did for this part of your assignment.
4. Next, scroll down to ‘Other Popular Answers,’ and select any three states (see the light blue area, which will say something like, ‘From Texas Answered…’ You will make note of each state, then type exactly what you see (copy the answers). Do this for three states.
Political Issue Question:
Paragraph Summary:
Overall Percentage of ‘Yes:’
Overall Percentage of ‘No:’
Highest Percentage of ‘Yes,’ with an Explanation (your own words):

Highest Percentage of ‘No,’ with an Explanation (your own words):
Historical Importance Month and Year (and write out your own explanation for this):
State No. 1 (list state and copy the exact response given on the website)
State No. 2 (list state and copy the exact response given on the website)
State No. 3 (list state and copy the exact response given on the website)
Do this for three different topics–one of which must be in the Science category and one of which must be in the Criminal category. Submit one slide per topic, for a total of three slides in this section. Make sure to present your responses in the chart, as shown. Each slide should present clear and concise information for the reader. This counts toward your final grade on this project.
On your fifth and final slide, include your sources. DO NOT EXCEED FIVE SLIDES.
