Caudillismo Essay
Question 1
Drawing on the secondary and primary source caudillismo readings, make an argument to answer the following question: 'What accounts for the pervasive dominance of Caudillismo in the mid 19th-century?' Make sure to incorporate specific pieces of evidence from at least two different sources to create a compelling argument. Essays should be 2-3 pages (no longer than 4!). Use Chicago citations. Consider the perspectives of historians Charles E. Chapman, Eric Wolf & Edward Hansen, Ariel De La Fuente, and William H. Beezley, as well as primary sources from Domingo Faustino Sarmiento and Santa Anna. Include an analysis of the contemporary political situation as discussed in 'Foreign Affairs - American Caudillo' by Omar G. Encarnacion. Remember the intermittent deadlines: Thesis Day on Tuesday, Feb 6th; Outline Due on Friday, Feb 9th; and Essay Due on Wednesday, Feb 14.
