Oh boy! Yeah definitely not something I'd recommend! Do you still feel like it went okay though? What was your topic? :)
Davian Thule:
I'm doing it right now, It's due tomorrow and im stuck for words and ideas, procrastination is at an all time high, and I'm really struggling. I went well for my proposal scoring 17/20 (I literally handed it in 1 min before it was due) but I wont be so lucky here. My question is -
How did the nature of the foundation of America in 1776 shape the nation’s Ideology and Democracy?
Any help you can provide would be amazing, and I'd be in your debt.

Ah okay! Hmmmmm unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable content wise on the topic that you have chosen. However, what I always recommend structure wise is to either break it up by historiographical concepts - eg. impact and understanding of postmodernism, objectivism, reductionism, Orientalism etc. etc. - OR by the syllabus. Just above all else make sure that you are writing historiography and NOT history. Don't go into crazy detail about the actual nature of the foundation of America, but more so the various debates and interpretations of the foundation :) What does one historian say, and why does they say it? What methodologies did they use to formulate their conclusion. Some historiographical and philosophical concepts (I assume given my admittedly limited knowledge of the topic - these just typically work well for American history) you could have a look into could be;
- White Mans Burden (can also link to Orientalism)
- Manifest Destiny
- Isolationism and Imperialism
- Social History (History from the Bottom Up)
Hope this helps!
