Any APUSH experts? I need MAJOR Helpppp!

<p>Alright, so my partner and I have to write an essay on the following topic:
Explain the Republican administrations policies of isolationism, disarmament, and high-tariff protectionism.
This prompt is for the time period of 1920-1932. However, my teacher wants us to contrast the traditional ideas of previous presidents such as McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson to the modern ideas of the new presidents-- Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. Me and my partner split the topics and I have agreed to write a paragraph or two on isolationism and high-tariff protectionism. I would appreciate it if someone could give me a list of facts I could incorporate in my essay or even write a few paragraphs so I get an idea. Also, keep in mind that this is an AP essay so it has to be pretty-well polished. Thanks guys!</p>

<p>Ohh and also, if someone could give me an idea on how to start my introduction that would be greatttt!</p>

<p>…you want us to write your essay for you?</p>

<p>hey guys, i found enough information about isolationism, i just need suggestions on how to start of my essay. anybody know any good ways to start off this essay with that prompt?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>It was the best of times to be an isolationist, it was the worst of times to be an isolationist.</p></li>
<li><p>Call me Senator Ishmail.</p></li>
<li><p>It was a dark and stormy night in the capital, and I pondered, as a typical Republican, how I could continue to screw the country and yet continue to collect more money in my private accounts.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Hey nugraddad,
Thanks for the feedback! My essay’s supposed to be more factual than narrative/prose style though :confused: Any other suggestions?</p>
