Lesson 14- A Nation Dividing

In this lesson, you will learn how Americans tried to keep the United States united despite their deep divisions over slavery. Some events during this period kept the nation together, whereas others pulled it apart. You will also find out how Americans finally answered the question of whether a nation founded on the idea of freedom could endure half-slave and half-free.  The essential question for the week " Which events of the mid- 1800's kept the nation together and which events pulled it apart?".    Students not doing NHD will create a puzzle piece on a question they make after reading one of the extra questions.  The test will be on Thursday.  Link to webpage and rti doc.
