See the detailed Historical Reflection directions for information about requirements and scoring rubric. For Part I, identify and explain three “gold nuggets” from this week’s historical sources. Do not include evidence from additional sites and resources not included in this week’s resources. For Part II, prepare a three-paragraph response to this key question:
As women engaged in Civil War era activities, did they defy prevailing gender expectations or fulfill them? Consider North America’s diverse population of women and the variety of ways women engaged in war-related activities. (Helpful hint, the “Cult of Domesticity / True Womanhood” expectations called for women to embrace piety, purity, submissiveness, and domesticity). Support your response with specific, cited examples from the module resources and assigned reading for week 9.
Do not include evidence from additional sites and resources not included in this week’s resources. Keep quoted content to less than 20% of your response. Prepare a minimum of three paragraphs responding to this question. (Keep in mind that paragraphs generally consist of five to seven sentences).
Submit your Historical Reflection by Sunday. (Although there is a 24-hour grace period for submitting your reflection, please only use this for unexpected emergencies).
