Dear User,

 

As you can see, I have edited all the GCSE units, so hopefully they will be
useful for you.

 

You will see that I am in the process of writing a new unit, on America 1849-95;
if this is a topic you are working on, I shall try to keep ahead of you in your
studies!

 

If you ever find any errors of any kind, please let me know on X (formerly
