<h3>Steps to writing the essay</h3>
Introduction: Greet the members of Congress, introduce who you are, and show your interest in debating Seward's proposal.
Thesis statement: Give your opinion on Seward's proposal, highlighting whether you think it is a beneficial or harmful proposal.
Body: Write a paragraph showing the reasons why you have this opinion, showing all the advantages and disadvantages that Seward's proposal represents. Write one more paragraph showing how opinions contrary to yours are incorrect and do not represent a rationale that should be followed.
Conclusion: Emphasize your thesis statement, restate your opinion and show the possible benefits that will be seen if your opinion is heard.
Remember that in 1867 people spoke a very formal language, emphasizing cultured and far-fetched words. You must use this type of word in your essay.
In addition, you will have to create your opinion on Seward's proposal. For this, you should search for articles that analyze this proposal and help you decide if it was beneficial or harmful.
