[edit]

I think in all your article is very well done. To improve the lead, I would reorganize the sentences in the first paragraph to state why the state conventions were created before introducing the 1865 convention. The overall structure of the article is also very clear. The separation with the overview and outcomes make it easy to navigate. The article is also very balanced when it comes to coverage on the topic. However, when reviewing this article I wondered if this was the first state convention? That would be good to add. There are also plenty of sources for the reader to reference which is very good and they all are reliable. When proof-reading, I realized you said " the convention convened for 6 days, 20th-25", but that is only 5 days. A lot of sentences in the article also start with "They did this" or "They wanted this". I would suggest rewording the beginnings of these sentences to make it more diverse. Other than that, well done! Douglmai (talk) 04:05, 14 March 2020 (UTC) Maiya Douglas[reply]
