Option 1

 * Article title
 * History of Mexican Americans in Texas


 * Article Evaluation
 * I chose this article because it is relevant to what we are talking about in class. Things such as how Spaniards took over Texas and slowly killed the Native population but later began to grow in population.
 * I believe it is written neutrally but it only talks about when the Spaniards took over and not much history before or after.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * History of Mexican Americans


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is relevant to our class and what we are going over right now.
 * I like this article because it goes into depth on how and when Mexican Americans started to disperse throughout the south/ southwest United States. As well as when the Spanish started to explore the US and change the Mexican American population.
 * This page does have a few bad citations that do not help with the article but considering there are over 600 references, there is plenty of information.

 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is relevant to our class because the Mexican American war was a battle over territory where the Mexican population resided the most in "US" territory.
 * This wiki page goes into depth on both sides of the Mexican American War.
