The above file contains the workbook readings and activities students completed on Sectionalism and Compromises surrounding the issue of Slavery. After students read and learned about sectionalism (see reading and venn diagram as well as notes) Students filled in a graphic organizer to decipher economic, political and cultural differences between the North and the South. Before reading about different compromises such as the Missouri Compromise and the compromise of 1850, students were asked to choose between 3 possible solutions to end the argument over slavery in the United states. After completing this quick write students then read about what solutions the United States tried in order to reach a compromise.

This map is an example of student work from a sectionalism lesson I taught. After students read, learned about, and filled in a graphic organizer on sectionalism they were to complete this map activity. The idea behind the activity was for students to read the first page and recap the lesson as well as give them an opportunity to label a map of where the country was divided. Students were supposed to add elements (small drawings) of things that resemble that section of the United States at the time.
