When you finish your quiz, look through the “minibio” on Abraham Lincoln, beginning on pg. 274 of
the Adventure Tales of America book. On a piece of
paper, choose 4-5 events that we’ve discussed before
and tell me:
- The name and description of the event
- How Lincoln (based on where he was at that point
in his life) would have felt about that issue/ event
Wednesday: Pre-AP Classes
If you have not already turned your project in, place it
under a number around the room. (Posters start at 1
and go up; Photos start at 36 and move down)
While you’re taking your quiz, one table at a time will
do their walk around.
Wednesday: Pre-AP Classes
You will use the following scale to score:
1- They have a project, that’s the best I can say.
3- This is an average showing.
5- This exceeds my expectations!
You will score each of the 3 categories listed under their
project number:
Specifications- did they follow the directions/ criteria of
the project description?
Originality- is this kind of what you would expect to see,
or is it creative/ outside the box?
Reflection- do they clearly demonstrate the idea of “why
does my vote matter?” or is it ambiguous in its portrayal?
Thursday- Regular Classes
Our goal today:
explain the causes of the Civil War, including
sectionalism, states' rights, and slavery
Haven’t we already done that?
- Missouri Compromise and Compromise of 1850?
- John Brown (in Kansas and Virginia)?
- Balance of power?
- Kansas-Nebraska Act and Dred Scott Decision?
Well, let’s go issue by issue…
explain the causes of the Civil War,
including sectionalism…
Review: What is sectionalism?
A growing connection to one’s section of the country,
rather than the country itself
(think about what’s going on in Ukraine right now!)
Read through the following article and
compare with events leading to the Civil War
http://time.com/26936/crimea-russia-ukraine-independence2/
explain the causes of the Civil
War, including… states' rights,
In the crash course video over this time period, John
Green mentions his high school teacher asking him
this question in high school:
“A state’s right to what, sir?”
explain the causes of the Civil
War, including… slavery
As we’ve discussed numerous times already, none of
the other issues would have led to war on their own
AND ALL of the other issues lead back to slavery
Example: tariffs and nullification- a states’ rights
issue! Does a state have the right to nullify, or ignore a
tax if it is harmful to them?
Andrew Jackson had already set the precedent at
NO!!
explain the causes of the Civil
War, including… slavery
How does this involve slavery?
Why didn’t the south like tariffs?
A: Because they had little industry and
manufacturing to produce their own goods, therefore
were dependent on trade with northern and foreign
manufacturers.
Why didn’t the south have industry and
manufacturing?
BECAUSE THEY HAD SLAVES to do their work!!!
Friday- Regular Classes
Our goal today:
explain... significant events of the Civil War, including
the firing on Fort Sumter; the battles of Antietam,
Gettysburg, and Vicksburg;…Lee's surrender at
Appomattox Court House; …(8.8B)
So, there’s a lot of wiggle
room there…
Every state/ region has different ideas about what/
where was important to the war, based on their own
local interests!
So, there’s a lot of wiggle
room there…
Every state/ region has different ideas about what/
where was important to the war, based on their own
local interests!
See- lots of different maps!!
But let’s start with the universally
accepted ones listed here:
including the firing on Fort Sumter; the
battles of Antietam, Gettysburg, and
Vicksburg;…Lee's surrender at
Appomattox Court House;
And then we’ll worry about others!
