Today we discussed major events that led up to the Civil War (Missouri Compromise / Nullification Crisis of 1832 / Compromise of 1850 / Kansas-Nebraksa Act of 1854). We completed a chart, made a "GIS-type" map (remember what that means from geography class???) and then wrapped up with the Election of 1860, when Lincoln was elected and the South soon began to secede from the Union.
So, basically, we covered about 40 years of history in 1 day. Way to go!
Anyway, if you need any of the items from today (except the map- I was unable to scan it to myself at school and so I don't have it in electronic form), just see the side bar.
Oh- A REMINDER: DCN p. 52-53 / 2.3 / 3.3 / 4.1 is DUE on FRIDAY. This is the same day as your "quiz" over Unit 1. I am using that term lightly. But still. Both are on the same day. MAKE SURE YOU STUDY the Declaration of Independence stuff, anything about the Articles of Confederation, anything about the Constitution, Manifest Destiny stuff, and the events that led to the war. (We completed charts about MOST of this stuff... so use them to study!).
See you Friday!
