Monday, August 30

Today we wrapped up our discussion on Manifest Destiny. We watched a quick "video" (well, more or less an animated map) of the expansion in the US between 1783 and 1854. We then completed a study guide chart for the expansion of the US. If you need the chart, please check the sidebar and print out the "Expansion in the US" chart. See you tomorrow for our discussion on the causes of the Civil War (and more specifically- slavery). We'll discuss the other causes on Wednesday/Thursday, as well as the Election of 1860, and then wrap up with a quiz over Unit #1. Make sure you have your DCN (p. 52-53, 2.3, 3.3, 4.1) done for Friday.
