Reflection 2

Note:

It is interesting to see how this changes (and doesn’t) for people as we move through American history. Some people’s lives mattered more than others, right? As Professor Foner points out in our readings, this will contribute to who is considered an American. As people continue to come from different places, we will struggle with this idea.
