Antebellum Culture Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
Reform and Women's Rights
The period between 1815 and 1860 in the United States is sometimes called the Era of Reform because there were so many movements for social reform during this period. Reformers fought to end slavery, increase access to education, improve conditions in prisons, expand women’s rights, and more.
Arts and Literature
Before 1800, most American painters studied in Europe. Benjamin West of Philadelphia was appointed historical painter to King George III. Many American painters journeyed to London to study with West. Two of them, Charles Wilson Peale and Gilbert Stuart, later painted famous portraits of George Washington.
