Craig and I resumed where we left off in our last class. We learned more about Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad. We also discussed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Compromise of 1850, and "Uncle Tom's Cabin". We watched a short video about the causes of the Civil War. We discussed the new term - popular sovereignty - as it related to the Kansas-Nebraska Act. We reviewed the case of Dred Scott, which we also learned of last year. I assigned HOMEWORK which will be due on Friday. Craig is to respond to a writing prompt about westward expansion and issues that created a divide between the North and South.
