Today I returned Will's graded Chapter 7 quiz (28/30) and went over it with him. Thereafter, we continued our discussion of Chapter 8, including the expansion of roads westward, the growth in the use of steamboats, the elections of 1816 and 1820, the domination of the early Presidency by Virginians, the so-called Era of Good Feelings under James Monroe, the Panic of 1819, the admission of new states (slave v. free), and the Missouri Compromise of 1820.
