504: Topic Proposal - President Abraham Lincoln

504: Final Research Paper Topic Submission Instructions

Choose one political leader. Then choose one particular situation in that political leader’s tenure significant enough to be considered a major challenge and a major indication of his or her statesmanship attributes (or lack thereof). Your instructor must approve your topic, and will provide further feedback as necessary on how to make the topic more appropriate and focused.

***Topic: Political Leader – Abraham Lincoln; Major Challenge: Abolishing Slavery

***Instructions: Write a paragraph (7-9 sentences) for your Topic Proposal, identifying a major political challenge while that political leader was in office, and determine whether or not that leader was in fact a statesman. This paragraph will serve as the foundation for the remainder of your Research Paper assignment. As you see, the topic has been chosen as well as a major political challenge. Write a paragrapgh (7-9 sentences) on that specific topic for this topic proposal assignment.

Thus, again, this topic proposal MUST serve as the foundation of what this research paper will examine and determine.
