Assignment 5. Alternate paper option for Americanists or Europeanists: Use two of your previous papers as the basis for an essay in which you compare political culture across time or across the Atlantic. How well do your sources fit with Bailyn or Morgan (undergraduates) or Bailyn and Morgan (graduates)? For example, you might compare your county MP study (1660-1690) with politics in the 1690s (using Ludlow, Black, Harris). Or, you might contrast the Exclusion Crisis English newspapers with the Virginia Gazette.
