US History Week of September 8-11

We have been learning about the time period leading up to the Civil War, called the Antebellum Period. We have been learning about how the United States became more and more divided over the issue of slavery and how Congress tried unsuccessfully to avoid war. We have watched Brainpops about the Underground Railroad and the causes of the Civil War. On Friday, we will have a quiz over the Antebellum Period and finish watching the America: The Story of Us episode about the Civil War.
