Pick one of the Messiahs discussed in American Messiahs.

Describe what you think are the most important aspects of this leader (or the movement) that sets him or her apart from the other leaders or movements covered in the book.

Find on the internet or in the book itself at least three primary sources related to this Messiah or his or her following. Use those sources to make an argument about the leader or the movement. You can use the techniques of the SOURCE analysis in this paper, but the best papers will not be just three SOURCE analyses bookended by an introduction and conclusion.
Source Analysis.
Series of Steps:

Origin: Who is the author of the document? What is the document?  Where was it produced? When was the document produced? (You can do outside research to answer questions about the author. Your answer should included information beyond the name of the author. Provide qualities and experiences of the author that might influence the creation of the document.)
Use: Why was it produced? How did the author intend for it to be used at the time of its creation? If it makes an argument, what is that argument? How was it actually used?

Red Flags: Every document contains bias, because all authors harbor biases? What biases did this author hold? Did the author have ulterior motives, like a motivation to stretch the facts for financial gains or to bolster their own reputation? Despite the presence of inevitable bias, can you trust the document?

Context: What was going on at the time that the document was produced that affected the creation of the document? Use this section to show that you have read the book. Quote directly from Morris.

Evidence: What direct quotations from the document could you use as evidence in a paper in a history class. In this case, find evidence in your document to support one of two arguments: either that Shakers were a dangerous cult or that Shakers were not a dangerous cult.

The best papers will have a thesis, will use evidence from the primary sources to support it, and will cite Morris to provide context.

Book used- American Messiahs: False Prophets of a Damned Nation

Thesis ( rough) I was thinking of using the photos of the home as the argument of how devoted her followers where and how effective the home was for the( PUF) to preach during the late 1700’s to the early 1800’s to lay the ground work for further american Messiahs to follow.
Note- Debunk that The Universal Friend. Pictures of houses would count, but the key would be whether the houses support an argument (can you use them as evidence and not just as illustration)?

You will be required to pick one political candidate who is still actively running for president. This may be Donald Trump, any one of the Democrats still in the race, or any third party candidate. It does not matter if you personally support/oppose the candidate that you choose. Once you have chosen a candidate, you will write a profile that contains the experience that the candidate has and their political background. Then you will write a detailed summary on where the candidate stands on three major policy areas. For example, you may choose Healthcare, Marijuana Legalization, Abortion, Social Security, Gun Rights, Immigration, Climate Change, Education, or any other major political issue. What types of laws within these areas do the candidates want to see passed? Are they for greater government involvement or less government involvement? Finally, you will include where this candidate falls on a left/right ideological spectrum. Are they further to the right or the left of the other candidates running for president? What does this mean?
