Lesson 15- Civil War

Civil War- This week's lesson will focus on the Civil War.  The essential question we will answer this week is "What factors and events influenced the outcome of the Civil War?".  The Civil War divide states, families, and our country.  We will learn about different events that led this to being the most deadliest of American events.   At the end of the week students will pick 2 factors/ events and explain how they are tied to the 7 common themes of history that we have been focusing on throughout this year.  There will also be a short quiz.   This week's homework can be found on the webpage.
