Assignment:

What is the central premise of Gateway to Freedom and how is this different than many of the other works on the Civil War and Slavery? What message is Eric Foner trying to change? To what degree do you agree or disagree with the thesis and why (what evidence is used)?

Your essay should include a brief synopsis of the author's thesis and main points, an analysis of what the book adds to your knowledge of history. This prompt is an analysis not a summary. In addition to the prompt, I would like for you to conclude your essay with an analysis of how you believe this book would be good for use in the classroom. Is it good ancillary literature to the textbook? Think about why the book was written or published.
