Create a timeline for use on the site that highlights at least 10 important events, periods, and/or turning points that situate and connect our account and/or its author in American history.

Imagine the Library of Congress is creating a website about your primary source. Create a timeline for use on the site that highlights at least 10 important events, periods, and/or turning points that situate and connect our account and/or its author in American history. You are also welcome to include quotes or media (for instance an image or a link to a song) rather than simply listing an event. Explain the significance of each event/period/piece of media in 3-5 sentences. Be sure to provide full citations (in footnotes using Chicago Manual of Style format) to credit ideas that are not your own and for all information, so that others could use your timeline to find the original source material. It is entirely up to you to decide how to frame the time period of your timeline. It can be as short as a few weeks or a year (for instance if you just want to cover the period covered by the account or during which it was written) or much longer (if you want to cover the author’s entire life or situate your source within a longer historical context). Taken together the events that you select should provide the reader with a sense of how your primary source fits into broader historical narratives and highlight any important transformations that occurred
