December 10, 2012 and December 11, 2012
On the 10th, we we talked a lot about Abraham Lincoln and the Constitution and Union. We filled out worksheets and and discussed questions in detail. We talked about a lot of imagery used and how it related to these things. Most common uses of imagery were the "apple of gold" and the "picture of silver." We also looked a lot at unalienable rights and people's different takes on them. We also looked at how these "different takes on them" changed through history.
On the 11th, we talked a lot about South Carolina seceding from the Union. We talked about how it's Declaration was viewed by the people of South Carolina and the people of the United States. There was a lot of discussion about different laws and how they were violated. Then at the end of class, we talked about what the Constitution expected of the president and made a chart about the Constitution and the New Orleans Newspaper.
Until next time!
