The research paper will examine the settlement of the British in Carolina and the Caribbean. It will also discuss the origin of slavery and slave trade in these regions in the seventeenth century as well as its spread. More important, the study will focus on the analysis of the factors that generated slavery in these areas such as the historical process, the economic impact of slavery in the colonies, and, the relationship of forced slavery and white servants.

Survey of U.S. History (HIST101)
Written Assignment Guidelines
Guidelines – Remember:
• You are writing about the past, use the proper tense
o Do not, as modeled by CNN and other media, use the present
tense to write about the past
• Do not use contractions: Can’t for can not, won’t for will not, etc.
• Do not write in the first person (“I will write about…”; “We now believe…”)
• Do not hedge, i.e. “It seems that…” or “It appears that…” Be resolute, take
a firm stand and support it with facts and details
• All essays will have an Introduction, Body and Conclusion
o Use the formula:
▪ Tell what you are going tell
▪ Tell
▪ Tell what you told
IMPORTANT: Size does not equate with importance. Do not write: “One big thing
about the Renaissance was the development of Humanism.” Big does not mean
important. Use an accurate word to describe what you are writing. For example:
“One of the major developments of the Renaissance was Humanism.”
“One important development of the Renaissance was Humanism.”
“One central development of the Renaissance was Humanism.”
Do not use big, huge, giant, colossal
Instead write: important, central, or major

Final Word
This is a formal academic essay. Write it as such. This is not your typical
conversation style English class essay from high school or some social media
activity. Everything you set down in writing you must be able to prove. Be specific
when describing events or developments. Use all the details that can possibly be
included to more accurately describe what you are discussing in your essay.
