I have a team project due tomorrow. My portion of the assignment was the timeline - which is completed however, I have three team members who have bailed and I am struggling to put the paper in perspective. Please help. (I have attached the timeline for reference)

Create a timeline highlighting the changes in political parties and the significant events that marked the growth of democracy from 1780 to 1850.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper, using the timeline as a guide, that addresses the following:

o Describe how capitalism, agriculture, and industrialization contributed to economics, economic development, regional specialization, and social reform. Is the growth of democracy just a coincidence, or did it contribute to the market revolution? Explain your answer. Be sure to indicate this on your timeline.

o In the timeline, identify where American expansionism begins. In your paper, identify how expansionism shaped foreign relations. Is the growth of democracy just a coincidence, or did it contribute to expansionism?
