Bridget's feedback:

"You present this historical moment efficiently, helping the reader understand the context and implications in a manner that shows control of the narrative and knowledge of the topic. The discussion is engaging and moves at a good clip, covering a lot of ground without losing the reader's interest or understanding. I do notice enough minor typos or errors worth the remark (such as "weather" instead of "whether" and missing commas after years in sentences), as well as occasional phrasing that may not quite suit the rhetorical situation (conversational "well", or use cliches like "U.S.-born and -bred..."). Consider revisions that can continue to convey our voice and narrative verve without sacrificing formality."
