Be sure your POST includes a QUOTED SENTENCE (15-20 words) from a primary source document located in the text, “Sources of Freedom Online Reader, ” or a credible website. Explain how the quoted sentence supports your point. You may use as many primary source documents as you like. Don’t forget to cite all primary sources.

How to cite a primary source
Let’s take a couple of examples from CH 02 Sources of Freedom Online Reader, a repository that provides a list of primary source documents for you to use. Each chapter module with a discussion assignment has one.
Example 1
I am using the document titled “John Rolfe to Sir Thomas Dale.” Here is how you would cite it using the 8 parts from the link above:
1. Rolfe, John. John Rolfe to Sir Thomas Dale, June 18, 1614. Letter. New York: W.W.Norton, 2020. Canvas, Sources of Freedom Online Reader. https://d1lexza0zk46za.cloudfront.net/history/am-docs/rolfe-dale.pdf.
Example 2
The document title is “Indenture Contracts for Three Boys.” Here is how you would cite it:
