I don't want anyone to actually do the assignment for me, I'd just like some helpful resources for research and maybe some pointers on how to make it sound like something from the late 1860s and not a modern paper.

ESSAY: SEWARD'S PROPOSAL
Here is your goal for this assignment:

Write an essay that explains your position on Seward's Proposal.

Imagine you are a member of Congress in 1867 and debating William Seward's proposal for the purchase of Alaska. You are asked to explain how you plan to vote on the proposal. Prepare a speech of 350 words explaining either your support for or opposition to the proposal. Thoroughly explain and justify your support for or opposition to the purchase. Use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation as you write your speech. Note: Be sure to write your speech as if you are a member of Congress in 1867, not someone who lives in the present day.

Proper documentation includes both parenthetical citations within the body of your report anytime you summarize or quote a source, as well as a works cited page.
