Instructions for Domestic Intervention Final Paper
Analyze at least two of the primary sources you’ve read for this section together and consider what they tell you about the military/ies or about another related aspect of American life.
One key skill we’re working on here is engaging with evidence: that means quoting it and explaining what those quotations mean or reveal; the phrase “this suggests” might be useful to you.
Another skill is that of putting evidence together into a wider argument. The paper needs to be unbiased and see how both documents are connected to each other.
Lastly, see the below analysis feedback and implement them to the paper.
