Basically all of American history summed up. But specifically pertaining to the War on Mexico.

Slowly but surely making my way through - up to Indian Removal. Lots of food for thought to unpack - and it's all just history in the words of people living through it.

Getting my primary source documents/marginalized voices history on on this nice hazy day in the Nation's capital. So far it's been a lot of pre-Revolutionary War stuff but I'm intrigued to get to more obscure voices in major historical moments.
