Sectionalism & Civil War 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.
Division and the Outbreak of War
The Republican National Convention for the presidential election of 1860 took place in Chicago, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln faced William Seward for the nomination. Seward was a U.S. senator for New York. Lincoln, whose fame had increased during the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858, won the nomination.
