Today's starters was: Tell me what you know about Abraham Lincoln
After discussing the starter we watched half an episode of American Ride. This episode looked into the divisions that were caused by Harriet Beecher Stowe's book Uncle Tom's Cabin, as well as John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry.
We then discussed the Lincoln/Douglas debates and the beginning of the Republican Party.
We handed in the Strangers on a Train assignment and began correcting The North and The South packet - this will be due next time.
