Q Since your title is Panic of 1873 and RR Strike of 1877, I'll give you feedback on that. Remember: historical essays are almost always in chronological order. While your intro doesn't have to be, best to make at least your first body paragraph about the Panic of 1873. Information about the Panic isn't mentioned in the draft you put on Moodle. After providing the historical details for the Panic, transition to the RR Strike of 1877. The essay should make clear how the two events are related.
