winterbee123 tells us more.
Hi all - I'm OP. I actually went to talk to my teacher and it turns out when he tells us to do "citations" he automatically assumes we know he actually means "footnotes". I accidentally started crying during our meeting and I think it freaked him out, so he's offering me a chance to rewrite it! Ah, the power of a girl's tears!

How embarrassing.
Your professor doesn't sound like he's doing his job very well. A good professor would have told you what you did wrong, not make fun of you and humiliate you.
I would directly approach the teacher; that isn't teaching that critiquing or criticizing. Neither of which is acceptable. You're in school to learn, not understanding the material happens but you should be given instruction on how to improve. FYL but understand the teacher isn't doing their job in this case.
Academics are supposed to encourage students towards independent / critical thinking, but in some subjects, history among them, writing ideas different from what the teacher taught is frowned upon.
Your teacher must not like you or he/she was just too lazy to read the paper.

Have you thought about talking about it to her or him?
Everything, apparently.
