SS.VS.7a Differences Between Northern and Southern States that Led to Secession
Directions:
Copy the template onto an 8 ½ x 11” white or colored piece of paper.
Students make a hotdog fold so that the words “Economy” and “Slavery” are showing
on top and can be seen.
Fold again, hamburger fold, so that a booklet is made and “Differences between
northern and southern states” is on top.
Open up the booklet and cut on the dotted line between “Economy” and “Slavery”,
creating 2 tabs.
Lift each tab. Underneath the “Economy” tab, write details about the economies in the
North and the South. Underneath the “Slavery” tab, write details about how the North
and the South viewed slavery.
