Advanced American History
Final preparations for the Civil War essay and test take place today. In class essays are being distributed, as well as test study guides.
To best prepare for the DBQ essay, be sure to review the documents in the packet and craft a thesis statement in support of or refuting the statement "Despite its original purpose as an instrument of national unity, by the 1850's the Constitution was failing to hold the nation together."
American Studies
After the surrender at Appomattox and the assassination of Lincoln, tremendous challenges face the fractured nation. How will 4 million former slaves be assimilated into American society? How does the nation move forward? Should the south be punished? What will their economy look like?
The period of Reconstruction sought to answer these and other questions. Some were answered, while we, yet today, are still feeling the legacy of this era.
Assignment: Answer questions based on a review of the PBS Reconstruction website (click link below).
