Anchor Level 5-A The response: • Thoroughly develops all aspects of the task evenly and in depth by describing the historical circumstances that led to fighting the Mexican-American War and the Vietnam War and discussing the extent to which each action was successful in protecting or failing to protect United States interests • Is more analytical than descriptive (fighting the Mexican-American War: Washington in his Farewell Address urged an independent foreign policy focused on our own best interests; United States has been inconsistent in following Washington’s wisdom; a later disagreement with Mexico over the annexation of Texas gave the United States an issue with which they could provoke expansion into the Mexican territories of California and New Mexico; American democracy reigned from ocean to ocean and the population moved westward; fighting the Vietnam War: Cold War containment was a major departure from Washington’s advice; the United States, as the leader of NATO and the free world, was against communism and it was the interest of the nation to stop the spread of communism; the United States had diverged from Washington’s advice, spent huge amounts on war, lost the support of the public, and decreased the emphasis on domestic affairs) • Richly supports the theme with relevant facts, examples, and details (fighting the Mexican- American War: Manifest Destiny; Texas; Polk; Jacksonian Democrats; Whigs and the Democrats; extension of slavery; “sea to shining sea”; army at the Rio Grande; taking of Mexico City; Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; Mexican Cession; Pacific trading ports; Asia; rich farmland; valuable minerals; 54° 40' or fight; Oregon; Gadsden Purchase; fighting the Vietnam War: George Kennan; Long Telegram; containment; anticommunist; McCarthy; “domino theory”; Southeast Asia; insurrection in French Indochina; escalated by Lyndon Johnson; Gulf of Tonkin Resolution; generation gap; Tet Offensive; “hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?”; President Nixon; Paris Peace Accords; North Vietnamese overran South Vietnam; Saigon; Great Society) • Demonstrates a logical and clear plan of organization; includes an introduction and a conclusion that places the task into a framework provided by George Washington’s foreign policy advice Conclusion: Overall, the response fits the criteria for Level 5. The response provides a strong analytical framework based on George Washington’s Farewell Address into which are interwoven the contours of Manifest Destiny and the goals of the containment policy. The numerous details provided enhance the premise of this essay. U.S. Hist. & Gov. Rating Guide – June ’13 [10] Vol. 1
Anchor Paper – Thematic Essay—Level 5 – B Although American foreign policy has shifted from being based on isolationism to being based on global involvement and intervention, the primary goal of foreign policy has been to protect the nation’s interests. The United States has taken a multitude of various economic and military actions, such as declaring war on Spain in 1898 and fighting the Vietnam War from 1964 to 1973, to achieve this goal. While the declaration of war on Spain led to success by bringing the nation power and respect, the military action in Vietnam was a failure because America failed to both contain communism and to win. Ultimately, the Spanish-American War is an example of an action successful in protecting the United States, whereas the Vietnam War is its antithesis, an action not successful in accomplishing its goal. The United States of America declared war on Spain to protect its economic interests in Cuba. In the late nineteenth century, wealthy Americans had invested heavily in Cuba. A great amount of U.S. dollars were spent on improving transportation in the Carribean island. In particular, Americans invested in the sugar business there. A problem surfaced when Cuban insurgents began to rebel against Spain. At the time, Cuba was still a colony of Spain. Seeing that tensions between Cuba and Spain were getting worse, America realized that it had to choose a side. A major factor in America’s decision to support Cuba was America’s economic interests. The United States felt that it would benefit the nation and the investors to side with the Cuban rebels in the conflict. Not to mention, America was all about independence, sovereignty, and anti-colonialism. Thus, America supported Cuba. U.S. Hist. & Gov. Rating Guide – June ’13 [11] Vol. 1
