"The US' foreign policy between 1828 and 1845 had several strengths
and weaknesses.  Describe the foreign policy of each President and
Secretary of State (as a team) in regards to England, Spain, France,
Canada and Mexico.  Be specific."

Unfortunately my history professor is less than specific, but I'd
imagine what will get me top marks would be a list of the Presidents,
with one strength and one weakness in regards to each of the countries
given (which I'm hoping you can help with) made into an essay (which I
will do).  Seems like a monumental amount of information for one essay
to me...  Of course, I'm English, and don't even have a clue who the
Presidents/Secretaries of State were during this period...  Let me
know if you need any clarification; I'll be offline shortly until
about 10am PST tomorrow, Wednesday, but will get back to you then.
