American Studies
All assignments from my absence last week are due at the beginning of class today!
We finished our discussion of the Civil War today with an analysis of the war from Gettysburg to the end (Vicksburg, Sherman's March to the Sea, and the Surrender). We also took a specific look at the Gettysburg address and how this short speech has come to define the meaning of the Civil War as well as a call to citizens today to carry out the unfinished work of building America that was begun generations ago.
Reminder: Civil War exam Wednesday. Study guide to come Tuesday, however, it is never to early to begin reviewing and preparing for your first major exam!
