Bridget's feedback:

"This is off to a great start, and the reader can easily see how you've used the documents to support your thesis: you show good control of the DBQ form and the information. With the higher-order elements (organization, argumentation) looking good, turn your focus to the lower-order concerns to ensure the discussion is clear at the sentence level as well. There are currently a number of moments where incorrect mechanics get in the way of reader comprehension. Watch out for sentence boundary issues, informal language, and similar. I also recommended revising the language of the second sentence for more precision, and I question if a counterfactual is the strongest conclusion for this discussion."
