Road to Civil War, Straws 1-4

Using the chart given out in class, complete it for the first 4 straws:


  1. Missouri Compromise
  2. Compromise of 1850
  3. Uncle Tom's Cabin
  4. Kansas-Nebraska Act
  5. Bleeding Kansas and Violence in Congress
  6. Dred Scott Supreme Court Case
Remember, to add a picture/image for each straw. Write small, this will help you out for the test next Tues 3/19...work slowly, carefully. look back on your notes!

The more time you spend on this, the more prepared you will be. 

Also, if you weren't able to answer the questions from today's class (Part E), get that done. 

Finally, some of you were asking for a copy of the powerpoint we've been working on during this unit. Well, here it is. It's over 90 slides! Some we've spent more time on and others we've cruised through. So, please use your notes as the primary source but you use can use this to reference or clarify something. If you need more information or are confused, please let me know.
