University of California Davis Native American Self Determination US History HW While you do not know a mad scientist who can build you a time machine to get you back to the year 2020, you know that you can leave a message in the past in the hope that somebody from the year 2020 finds it so that you they can bring you back to the future. If you can find a way to leave your message in an archive that your instructor and classmates will explore for a History 17B Document Lab in 2020, there is a reasonable hope that they can find a way to bring you home. You turn on your laptop and notice that you have three hours of battery power remaining. Referring to your lecture notes and primary sources you have downloaded for your Document Labs, you also discover that you have a digital copy of an 1879 illustrated atlas of Yolo County. (Links to an external site.)This primary source will prove invaluable in helping you navigate Davis in 1868, and find a way to get a note to your classmates in the year 2020. But what if nobody believes that you are a time traveller? To ensure that your note is taken seriously by anyone who may read it in 1868 or who may discover it in 2020, you decide that you are going to make hyper-accurate predictions about the future based on your lecture notes in History 17B. Your narrative about the future of the United States from 1868 to 2020 must not only be accurate, it must make sense to people in 1868 who live in a world of railroads and telegraphs rather than SpaceX and Twitter. Reflect on the central themes in this course: (1) development of American capitalism, (2) expansion of citizenship and civil rights, (3) Native American self-determination, and (4) political realignments. Select one of these themes, and use it as analytical frame to narrate change over time in the United States from 1868 to 2020. Once you have identified a key theme you want to narrate, write an essay that explains to people living in 1868 how the country will change in the next 150 years. Remember, your target audience has no knowledge of the future world and therefore you cannot take any knowledge for granted. You will need to explain change over time in such a way that your 1868 audience will understand your narrative, and be so historically accurate that anyone who discovers your essay in 2020 will be convinced that you are a time traveller in need of rescue rather than an elaborate hoax. Although this essay is not a formal final exam, it is a summative assessment of how your mastery of the course learning outcomes as well as your own intellectual growth. Therefore, neither your TA nor the instructor can provide feedback on drafts.While your arguments and analysis must be original and in your own words, you may solicit and provide peer feedback on your drafts. Indeed, you are encouraged to revise multiple drafts to submit the highest quality final paper possible. Likewise, you are permitted to workshop your paper at the UC Davis Writing Support Center.
