Civil War News
As a class we talked about the Reconstruction of the nation after the Civil War, looking particularly at a few video clips about Grant’s presidency and the problems facing the south after the war. I was also able to show students old newspaper clippings of my great-great grandfather, who served in the Civil War and was on the hunt for John Wilkes Boothe after Lincoln’s assassination! We also explored westward expansion, talking about the advantages and disadvantages of the Transcontinental Railroad and other developments during the period.
