How the course works
• Remind me often to say which paper we are currently
discussing – as I will forget to mention “Hey, we are
currently on Paper 1…”
• I will run through events chronologically as much as
possible, with brief explorations into other topics should
they be necessary
• Your syllabus should be by your side at all moments so
you can refer to what we are discussing daily

unless otherwise specified
In class assignments are generally NOT papers
History, as a disciplines, uses Chicago citations
We do NOT use MLA.
I will briefly explain how to use Chicago and we will
practice at some point (maybe)
Chicago style citations
• Chicago uses footnotes or endnotes
• Footnotes appear at the bottom of an individual page
• Endnotes appear at the end of the totality of the work, but

before the bibliography
Both have a bibliography that follows the work
Footnotes bibliography will appear after the last page of
the work
Endnotes bibliography will appear after the last page of
the work AND after all of the notes
Look at the examples on the next page: note how
footnotes or endnotes can be used either to cite
information or to provide explanatory notes

Where to go if you are uncertain how to
cite
• Purdue OWL
• http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/
• All citation types and methods for
various sources
• Memorize the formula – do not rely
on easybib or other methods that
cite for you
Why do we cite?
• “Take the issue of documentation. For an academic, there
is something sacred about a citation. The proper citation
of a source is a small tribute to the hard work, diligence,
intelligence, and integrity of someone dedicated enough
to make a contribution to knowledge. For you, citations
and bibliographies are pointless hoops to jump through
and you often treat these requirements carelessly.
Further, our differences on the issue of giving or taking
proper credit accounts for the fact that you so seldom take
plagiarism as seriously as I do.”

Historiography
• The study of historical writing.
• Orthodox – US is a city upon a hill, Wilsonian idealism.
• Revisionist – Zinn (people’s history), Chomsky – we are
imperialists but we do not recognize it, counter-culture
• Post-Revisionist – John Lewis Gattis – we made some
mistakes, we did the right things
