Henry Flipper (First African American to Graduate from West Point in 1877)

Henry Flipper (First African American to Graduate from West Point in 1877) For this assignment, you must pick a historical topic from the list below. Students are expected to write a three to four page paper on the topic. (This page guideline does not include title pages and bibliographies, there needs to be 3-4 pages of actual content). Please avoid long quotes, as what I want to see is your own words, not those of others. (1.)Summarize the topic using specific examples throughout history. For example, if you were writing about the history of African American troops in the Civil War you would want to talk about recruiting, training, different regiments, and major battles. (2.)What is the evidence for your viewpoint? Since, this is a history class; you will have to find concrete and reliable evidence for your viewpoint. YOU MUST CITE YOUR SOURCES! Use Chicago Style. I understand that you are not used to this format, and am much more concerned that you did real research. However, part of being a historian is citing sources so do give this your best shot. (3.)Summary: summarize your paper in the last paragraph.
