Revisiting the Main Point
•
To what extent did the Market Revolution prove to be a unifying force for
the new nation in regional, social, and socioeconomic terms?•
In what ways did the Market Revolution foster migration within the United
States? How were these migration patterns different from previous migration
within North America? Refer to your textbook and classroom notes to help
you answer this question.•
Agree, disagree, or modify this claim: “The Market Revolution fostered a
new compassion within the national identity.”knowing What and When to Quote
As you recall from Chapter 7, effective evidence is the key to supporting historical
arguments. To develop your understanding of patterns, pay attention to the
language that writers use. When patterns become evident in a text, they often
highlight a main idea. These patterns may be literal (as in “of the people, by
the people, for the people”) or conceptual (as in “life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness”).
Historians draw on the language and ideas of others to support their own
arguments, and they use such evidence in two ways that both support distinct
historical thinking skills. Explicit evidence can be a direct quote from another
source. It is presented exactly as it appears in the source. Providing direct quotes
from primary sources and from other historians can be especially useful when
you want to support chronological reasoning and craft historical arguments.
Implicit evidence can be a reference to the original source that is made in your
own words. Implicit evidence is a summary or paraphrase that supports your
claim. Whenever you cite the language of another writer—either explicitly or
implicitly—you must use appropriate in-text documentation by noting the name
of the author and the source or by parenthetically citing a document at the end
of a sentence.
As noted above, when we use explicit evidence, we pull direct quotations
from other sources. Quoted language requires additional analysis, however.
You can’t simply present such evidence. You also must provide some analysis of
the quoted material. Implicit evidence implies that you have made some level
of analysis.buil Ding AP®
