<p>I did 3 (mexican war) and 4 (immigrants).</p>
<p>For 3 my information was mostly:
-President Polk and Manifest Destiny
-Border dispute (Rio Grande River or Nueces River)
-Generals Zachary Tayor and Winfield Scott
-Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo
-Mexican Cession
-Wilmot Proviso
-Stephen Douglas and popular soverignty
-John C. Calhoun
-Compromise of 1850 (lots of details about that)
-Fugitive Slave Act vs. Personal Liberty Laws.</p>
<p>That was probably my strongest essay. My DBQ was just okay because I got really nervous right before the essay section. My last essay wasn't that bad, I guess.</p>
