PART TWO: For Part Two, connect the primary source you found with one of the assigned readings for the week and explain how the source illuminates the information in the reading. For instance, if you are writing about Gilded Age politics, you might find a Thomas Nast cartoon and discuss the ways the cartoon shows an understanding of the political corruption happening at the time. Analyzing the cartoon helps us understand what Americans understood and thought about the politics of the moment. The following is the suggested format for Part Two.
