Here we are. I put it online and made it available for viewing here:

Anyhow, enjoy. I used a lot of information I picked up here and there on these forums, and much of my paper is simply a collection of those thoughts. If anyone has anything to add, or especially if there are factual errors in my paper, I encourage you to let me know.
Thanks,

I hate to double post, but I was hoping to present this paper at a national conference for Phi Alpha Theta, the collegiate History Honor Society on behalf of my University. It would be wonderful if anyone was willing to read it over and give their critique so I can make sure it's top quality (and accurate) before sharing it with the rest of the country. Hopefully I didn't take any quotes out of context or misread any of my sources. I feel I did a decent job covering a relatively specific and (unfortunately) obscure topic, while still making it accessible to a fairly general audience, but it is a difficult balance to strike.
