Tonight's homework is to either draw a political cartoon about the Kansas-Nebraska Act (and the violence that followed) or write a newspaper account about the events. You MUST take a specific point of view (either Northern or Southern).
You can receive an extra credit homework grade if you choose to complete BOTH, if both are done well.
