Today we continued with the Ft. Sumter simulation. You had to decide what Lincoln should do when a state up and decides to leave the Union (called SECESSION. Know this word! It's important.).
After discussing pros/cons/etc. to a very difficult Presidential decision, we discussed how the start of the Civil War came about. You received a chart called "The Civil War" (original... I know). Anyway, as we went through some brief notes/charts/etc. in class (see "Am Hist- Civil War: The Early Years" in the assignments area), you were able to fill in statistics and notes in that chart. Keep it. You'll use it as a useful study guide later on. :)
