In your essay, you should 1) summarize McPherson’s main argument(s), 2) discuss how he supports his arguments and the evidence he uses, and 3) explain whether or not you find his arguments convincing.
You should also find at least two academic reviews of McPherson’s book and incorporate these into your review, with proper citation. Reviews can be found through databases such as JSTOR and Project MUSE via the UTA Library website.
(These will let you see how other historians have evaluated McPherson’s book and provide you with some outside perspectives on the book and subject matter.)
