Another Letter To Mom

Dear Mom,
Wow, The treaty of Paris was finally signed!!! mom I was there when it was signed and it felt amazing. The Treaty was signed at the symbolically neutral ground at Paris' Hotel De York. John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay were there representing the United States, some guy named David Hartley was representing King George 111. I was there the whole time and it took about 4 hours because everyone got a chance to speak, the treaty was read out loud and then we had to wait for the representatives to sign. The signing was suppose to be in the Maryland State House in Annapolis in November but since not a lot of delegates(only 7) got there, so they moved the date and decided too sign it in Paris. The treaty granted the United States westward to the Mississippi River, later the River got opened to both nations. The British accepted the treaty on April 9, 1754 and it took months for America to realise that the war was over. Well as you see it is very exciting, hope to see you soon, bye mother.

The States that were almost Mexico!

This Picture shows the states that were almost part of Mexico (Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and part of Colorado). The war was between Mexico and the United States. 525,000 miles of land was given to the United States in return of fifteen Million dollars for damaged territory in Mexico. Texas still gave Mexico part of its land in 1850 which became New Mexico.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

It's Here!! The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was finally signed in Guadalupe Hidalgo (a state in Mexico) on February 2, 1848. The war was between the Mexican state and Texas. The Mexican government wanted to take over Texas as one of their states, but Texas wanted their own independence and be part of the United States. The treaty called Mexico to give up 55% of it's territory (Now Arizona, California, New Mexico, parts of Colorado, Nevada and Utah)in exchange of fifteen million dollars in damaged territory in Mexico. Texas is very excited about this news and It's now an independent country!!!

My Letter To Mom

August 20, 1783

Dear mom,
I'm writing to you from Paris. I am very excited because there might be a peace treaty coming soon to help us end this war. Yesterday I was very scared, I thought it wasn't going to happen but Benjamin Franklin told me to have high hopes for it. The war is between Great Britain and our own colonies America. Me and my friends are really happy but we have lost a lot of loved ones in this war. I'm sure you can't wait for me to go back home but you have to be patient and I will be there. John Adams and others might sign the peace treaty, were hoping the king of Britain will want to sign it too. The only problem is that this could take a while, they have to write down whats fair for both countries and then after they all sign it will all be over.
Love,
Your daughter Andrea

Reflection: I'm not really sure what kind of poem this is, I just wrote what was on my mind. I tried to feel what those people want, how they feel about the war ending. It war pretty hard but I'm still trying to think of more things to add to it. I think if i add a little more, the people who read it will understand what I'm trying to say. I wanted to do a narrative poem but i still have a little trouble with it. It took me 20 minutes to write this poem and i think i changed it about 5 times, but i like it a lot.
