Causes of the Civil War TestHere are the papers we have done in class to help students prepare for the test.
South Carolina SecessionWe finished by reading South Carolinas document declaring why they left the union. We also watched a short video about the first battle of the American Civil War.
Lincoln Douglas Debates/ Election of 1860In class we read quotes from Lincoln and Douglas in their debates in the Illinois Senatorial election of 1858. We created a web chart of what we learned about each candidate. We then filled out a map of the United States and labeled which states are free and which states are slave states. Create a key telling which states are which.
John Brown RaidIn class we learned about John Brown and his raid on Harpers Ferry. We read the documents in class and answered the questions. We then completed a practice essay for the test using the documents.
Kansas-Nebraska Act leading to Bleeding KansasIn class we read articles from Stephan Douglas and Abraham Lincoln for and against the Kansas Nebraska Act. While reading the articles we answered a few questions. We then debated the material in class to see whether or not the act should be passed. Each Student got to choose between Douglas' or Lincolns Articles. Douglas is found from pages 4-6 Lincoln is found from 7-9 Page ten is the debate information. Please fill out the arguments for your chosen speaker (Lincoln or Douglas). Students also received a homework assignment. Dred Scott homework assignment.
Compromises Before the WarIn class we talked about two major compromises before the war that attempted to keep the nation together. The students had to fill out a packet for the assignment.
North vs. South CultureWith the foldable we created in class we filled in notes for the culture of the North and South.
To find information about the North and South Culture read the following Chapter in your textbook. Please make a T chart in the culture section of your North vs. South notes and write what learned from the textbook. (Chapter 13 Section 2 pg. 394-399 Section 4 pg. 406-412) North vs. South EconomyIn class we used documents to determine how the North and the South were growing apart from each other. Our focus was the economy of both the North and South and how they differed. Using the documents fill out the graphic organizer. Then fill out the Venn Diagram comparing the North vs the South. We created a graphic organizer using the Venn Diagram and the Graph for the Economy of the North and South. The Venn Diagram goes on bottom, the graph goes on top. Leave about a half an inch at the bottom of the papers to create a tab. The fold the graph in half, again leaving a space at the bottom for a tab. This should result in three separate tabs. The bottom tab will be the Venn Diagram. The Second tab will be the graph for Economy. The third tab will be blank.
