Inquiry question:
From the research I’ve collected I came to the conclusion this time period was a progress. From not only just collecting Canadian information but as well as American I was able to tell they both had progress during this time period. I think it’s important as Canadians that we learn about our close allies and their history as well. From learning about both governments I was could tell they both were evolving as countries.
