Question
How does evidence shape Fort Laramie Treaty?
Answer
Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape Fort Laramie Treaty by focusing on Part two: Conflict across America. Use the chronology of AA America, 1840-1895: Expansion and consolidation, select named evidence connected to Study increasing conflict on the Plains, including the Fort Laramie Treaty 1851, concentration policy, the Indian Wars 1862-1867, Sand Creek Massacre and, and order events accurately, show movement from one development to the next, and avoid jumping chronology. End by answering the command word directly.
Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 1 Section A: Period studies, then anchor the answer in Part two: Conflict across America. The evidence should connect to Study increasing conflict on the Plains, including the Fort Laramie Treaty 1851, concentration policy, the Indian Wars 1862-1867, Sand Creek Massacre and and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.
Common mistake
Avoid confusing Fort Laramie Treaty
A common mistake is to write about Fort Laramie Treaty as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1840-1895.
Anchor the answer to Part two: Conflict across America, use precise evidence, and state whether Fort Laramie Treaty is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
