Advanced American History
After returning and discussing the first Civil War Quiz, we will be examining some of the strengths of the North and South at the onset of the Civil War. While the north had the majority of economic and military might, the south did have the advantage of excellent military leadership and fighting a defensive war.
After this discussion, we will begin the process of analyzing key turning points in the war itself. Students will, with a partner, be responsible for presenting the key facts of a specific turning point beginning in class on Thursday.
American Studies
After sharing our political cartoons, we took a look at a few primary sources on Lincoln's views on slavery and secession (blue handout). Finally, we viewed a short videoclip on the fall of Fort Sumter and the beginning of war.
Reminder: Civil War Quiz #1 on Wednesday!
