Pick one historical figure or group on the list provided–each of these people or groups are connected to African American Military History from 1860 to1865. 

Tell the class the history of this person(s) or units as it relates to African American Military History and remember to cite where you found your information. Also read two of your peers’ Soldier discussions and comment on the units or people they chose in comparison to the ones you wrote about.

 Pick wisely!!!..You cannot repeat a person already covered in the INITIAL post where another student has claimed or points will be taken off for repeating material already covered and label your discussion heading with the key figure’s name.

***You can label your heading prior to writing your discussion response…so you can claim the person or regiment before someone else does.

You may use your book and the internet to research sources to help you in your essay. 

For online sources, you must ask additional questions. What is the domain (.edu?)? Who publishes the site, or sponsors it? Is it recent (has it been updated)? Are there advertisements or signs that it is a poorly designed website with all kinds of distractions? Is the site supposed to be an academic one? Or is it someone’s pet project?

Remember that this is a formal essay and you need an introduction, body, and conclusion.
