Big thanks to my history teacher Mrs. Sarah Matczak for teaching me everything I know about this subject, and being such a good historian. Thank you to my previous history teachers as well for adding to my bank of knowledge on U.S. history. I couldn't have completed this project without all of you, and for this, I thank you.
