Choose only one of the following two assignment options to fulfill the Unit 6 Primary
Source Response.
OPTION #1
Read the American Yawp primary source documents John OSullivan Declares
Americas Manifest Destiny and Diary of Woman Migrating to Oregon, 1853. In
addition, listen to the Backstory Podcast segment Border Crossings. Your assignment is
to explore how these sources shed light on key developments of the manifest destiny
era. What ideologies of expansion does OSullivan espouse, and how do these play out in
the real world experiences of Amelia Knight, the woman migrating to Oregon in 1853?
Furthermore, what part do Native Americans play in OSullivans vision, Knights
travels, and the US war with Mexico (as noted in the podcast)? (essay length
approximately 350 words)
OPTION #2
Read the American Yawp primary source documents Prigg v. Pennsylvania, 1842 and
1860 Republican Party Platform. In addition, listen to the Backstory Podcast Lincoln
the Lawyer. Your assignment is to explore why Abraham Lincoln, and the election of
Lincoln at the head of the Republican Party in 1860, was the straw that broke the
camels back, so to speak. In other words, who was Lincoln, what did the Republican
Party in 1860 stand for, and why was the election of Lincoln the spark that led to the
secession of eleven southern states who in turn formed their own nation, the Confederate
States of America? (essay length approximately 350 words)
