We began our in-class activities for the Civil War Era unit of study by hi-lighting and making some notes on a map of the U.S.A. and C.S.A. and doing the same on a timeline -- pick up copies of each and connect with a reliable classmate if you were absent. Also, we revisited the "Simplified Timeline of Slavery and Racial Issues in America" with some brief discussion, marking the "13th Amendment" visually as reminder that is what officially and effectively ended legal slavery in the United States. We then began in-class assessment work on a Crash Course -- see me to make up this missed work if you were absent.
