Gospel of Wealth

I want you to imagine that it is the year 2024. It is presidential election season and a presidential candidate has asked you to produce a brief document summarizing what you think they should know about American history to be an effective president.

You will choose five primary sources and three secondary sources (list on page 2) that you think give the president a good sense of who the American people are, the unique nature of U.S. politics, what major crises they have faced, and how both oppression and the quest for freedom have been an integral part of the American experience. You should aim for a selection of sources that covers the long time span of American history. For instance, perhaps you think the president should know about how abolitionists fought to create a more equal society. You might select the Angelina Grimke speech as a primary source and the “History in Brief: Fighting to End Slavery” video as a secondary source, and then explain why you think the president should know about abolitionists. The textbook can be one of your secondary sources, but you should pick out a specific section that you think your presidential candidate should read. The directions you can take this assignment are practically endless. The list of the sources assigned in this class can be found below, in order of when they were assigned.
