Lesson Planet Curated

Northerners, Southerners, and abolitionists all had a different perspective on the American Civil War. To understand these different points of view, class members analyze primary documents including speeches by Abraham Lincoln, the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession. The eight lessons in the collection include printable worksheets, materials, an essay preparation guide, and a rubric for the final essay.
