Hello! I have to write an essay for Social Studies. I wrote it, but it needs a ton of work. If anyone has some time, it would be greatly appreciated! I need some suggestions- And I know there are a ton. Thank you so so so so so so soooooooooooooooooo much!
For this portfolio project, you will explore different perspectives regarding the Mexican-American War. You will then present your findings in a short essay. Your final product will describe each point of view. It should give historically accurate facts. Your portfolio assignment has four steps:
Research the Mexican-American War—its causes, the course of the conflict, and its results.
Examine the Pearson Realize Civic Discussion Sources A–E for additional information.
Analyze your research.
Form your judgment and write your essay.
My (Lots-of-room-for-improvement) Essay is:
The Mexican American War began in the year 1945 on May 9, after President James Polk of the United States declared war on Mexico for attacking U.S. troops stationed in Texas. For most southern American citizens, the war could be only beneficial. The country could gain land, power, and slaves if they won. For Mexico, the war could only harm. If they lost, they would lose land and power.
I just need some suggestions on how to make it longer and, well, better.
Once more, I know it needs a TON of work. And thank you so so so much if you are willing to help. I will really, really, really appreciate it.
