You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
Adding to "American Involvement":


 * New subheading: "Mexicans in the United States and Mexican Diaspora Resistance"
 * Adding how they attended sermons by Mexican priests denouncing the Calles regime.
 * How they worked with the media to generate sympathy for Catholics.
 * Used militias, armed revolts, espionage, and arms smuggling to weaken the Mexican Government.
 * Little impact due to distrust from the United States Government to Catholic armed militias and sent forces to maintain surveillance over Cristero migrants who suffered prosecution. (All from Review of Mexican Exodus)
 * Adding to Knights of Columbus
 * Knighs of Columbus was created in Massachusetts in 1882 and expanded into Mexico in the early 20th century, establishing a chapter in 1905 called Caballeros de Colón which would later become one of the country's largest religious political organizations.
 * How John B. Frisbie, a Knight and California railroad magnate who lived in Mexico, founded the first council in Mexico City in 1905, which would be made up of Irish-Mexicans before more Mexicans joined or made their own councils.
 * By 1923 there were a total of 5,102 members split within 45 councils around the nation.
 * Some members and founding members also belonged to other groups, most notably, the Young Men’s Catholic Association and the Liga Nacional Defensora de la Libertad Religiosa.
 * How they built schools in 1923 as a "National Crusade in Defense of Catholicism" and La Liga had a popular national boycott in 1925. (All from Knights and Caballeros.)

Adding to "Aftermath":


 * Adding how violence towards Catholics forced people, particularly from the pacific and central regions of the country, to move to the United States and shaped their lives, activities, and communities.
 * Exiles and refugees were a big portion of the migrants.
 * How there were around 2,500 exiled people with positions within the Catholic Church in Mexico, thousands of refugees, and political exiles that formed a Cristero diaspora. (All from Mexican Exodus)
 * How the Knights of Columbus frames the Cristero War as a narrative of heroism and martyrdom. (from Knights and Caballeros).
