American History

After a brief discussion of northern and southern advantages at the beginning of the war, we highlighted the union 3 pronged plan for victory (On to Richmond, Tennessee River valley, Mississippi River).  After building this context for war, we saw mini presentations on the First Battle of Bull Run, Clash of the Ironclads, and Shiloh.
