In the First Quarter of the school year, our
goal in history class was to educate students on Manifest
Destiny and explore the historical interactions between
Americans and Mexicans. Specifically, we focused on
Sonoma Valley, where American presence was concentrated
during that time, marking the northernmost settlement
of Mexican territory.
