Past Two Days: December 18th 2012

Today, we were first given a worksheet titled "To Suspend or Not to Suspend?" It was about suspending the writ of habeas corpus. We then answered short questions based on opinion and went over them. Next, we read Lincoln and the Writ of Liberty, which showed what Lincoln thought was the best thing to do for society and for government. We answered questions and discussed it as well.
Yesterday, we did the second QR code scavenger hunt of this year. The questions related to the battles of the Civil War.

Past Two Days: December 4th

Yesterday, we looked at a political cartoon of the candidates in the 1860 election. It portrayed Lincoln and Douglas fighting over influence of the western territory and Bell and Breckenridge either trying to fix the United States' problems or hinder them. After, we looked at the total electoral votes that each candidate got and that Lincoln won the election with less than 40% of the votes.
