The Leadup to the Civil War

Students read about the events leading up to the Civil War and we have been discussing it in class.  You can see what we discussed below:

Students should be continuing to work on their outlines which are due on Monday night.  Additionally, this writing assignment is too.  Students will be comparing the thoughts of John Brown and Abraham Lincoln on the prospects of Civil War.

We are going to push to finish the Civil War before the break.  That will mean WWI will be up next when we come back.  I'm hoping to conduct a group project regarding trench warfare in January.  It's usually been a fun one!
