American History Essay- Bibliography on Ben Franklin

I am looking for someone to write a two page bibliography on a historical figure; I chose Ben Franklin. The essay details are listed below:

Assignment

For this assignment, you will be writing an obituary for the figure you chose at the start of the semester, deemed by you to be the most significant American prior to the Civil War. You should describe your historical figure, their life, and significance in American history, as well as the context in which they are important.

As you have chosen this figure, you are to determine why they are significant, and you should be able to defend your argument with both facts and analysis. Remember, this is NOT a biography. You are not merely recounting the life of this figure. The focus on this paper is the figure's significance and why they matter.

To write the obituary, you must utilize at least three sources. ONE source must be a biography or historical work written about your figure. I recommend that you use historical journal articles, available through the Library database as your other sources. Your textbook will not count towards these sources. At least three reputable sources must be used for full credit. If you are concerned about whether a source is reputable or not, please discuss this with me.

Additional Information

Each paper is worth 100 points. Papers must be stapled, double-spaced, with one-inch margins and the correct font and size (Times New Roman, Arial, Helvetica in 12 pt font).

Papers should be 2 pages in length.
