What I'm Doing Here
Just a disclaimer: There is absolutely no outstanding or existing evidence that Calhoun left any of his belongings/writings to Clay. I simply made this part up, so PLEASE do not take it for historical fact.
As stated on the first page, ALL creative content in this project is MINE. If you would like to use portions of it for a project of your own, please email me for permission: [email protected]
The AP U.S. History class that I am involved with is run through the Pennsylvania Homeschoolers online group, which you can view by clicking on this link: http://www.pahomeschoolers.com/
I hope that you enjoy reading my project, because I sure enjoyed writing it! :-)
