School - # ONE

Today was my U.S. formative period final exam day. Covered on the final exam were: The year’s 1844 through roughly 1860, including the Civil War, the Temperance Movement, Transcendentalism, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, The Mexican War, the creation of the state of Texas, the Second Great Awakening, the Compromise of 1850, and several other issues.

Ultimately, I chose to write my essay on the turbulent decade of the 1850's, citing eleven separate examples that increased sectionalism between the North and the South, highlighting each event's significance. The bonus essay was on Ohio's role in the Anti-Slavery, Underground Railroad movement.

I'm feeling very confident about this test. My writing came out exactly as I hoped that it would. Strong, decisive and persuasive. Hopefully the rest of my finals go this well.

Right now, I'm taking a study break from preparing my argumentation study guide. I also have good feeling about this class. My philosophy law of paper, microeconomic’s final and legal environment of business final, however, will be the true tests. This has been a very successful semester, I just hope that through studying enough I can do its end justice.
