This is just a reminder that while we absolutely do allow homework questions in /r/AskHistorians, we ask that answers be limited to providing clarification or pointing to sources. This policy is further explained in this Rules Roundtable thread and this META Thread.

OP, while users may be able to help you out with specifics relating to your question, we also have plenty of information on /r/AskHistorians on how to find and understand good sources for yourself! check out our six-part series, "Finding and Understanding Sources", which has a wealth of information that may be useful for finding and understanding information for your essay.
