Historical Failure was Christopher Columbus
Students are to write a 600-800 word paper about a failure in History. (Example George Custer–do not use him for your paper, just an example!)
Students will identify a historical failure created by a historical character that lived between 1700 and 1860.
Students should show why this failure happened and how it could have been prevented or resolved more effectively.
Note that you need to use logic and valid reasoning that goes beyond opinions or just a change of mind to properly address the issue of preventing a failure or correcting the failure.
Use historical data and research to construct a solution to the failure. Your suggestion for correcting or preventing the failure should focus on systemic/cultural/political reasons for the failure.
