Today's starter was: Describe the worst argument or disagreement you have ever been in - how did it start? how did it end? how did you feel in the middle of it?
We used this discussion as a springboard to talking about the disagreements between the North and the South that led to the Civil War.
We also watched a short video on the Lincoln/Douglas debates from the Illinois Senate election of 1858 and corrected and handed in "The Spirit of Reform" and the reformers crossword puzzle.
