History

In history we dicuss a lot of different topics such as the civil war,
slavery, the differenty battles such as Gettysburg,Vicksburg etc. and
the differences between the North and the South. We also discuss
politics and the different things that are going on between Barack Obama and John Mcain. Starting off with the civil war. When we discuss the civil war it feels like im really there. It is really exciting. We discuss that the Civil wars outbreak was because of a 3/5 clause and silent endorsements. We talk about the Emancipation Proclamation which was born on January 1st 1863. The Emancipation proclamation freed the slaves in a lot of rebelious states. We talk about how some states didn't really recognize the governments power. In class we also talk about how the North is stronger then the South. We learn that the North was bigger and that it had more workers, manufacturing companies, wepons and transportation. Then we learn that the South had a higher morale and that it had more farm acreage. We also discuss the weaknesses of both the North and the South. Like for example the South had a lot less food then the North. Then the North had less land and a lot less training then the South. We discuss the economic consequences of war in the South. When we talk about that we find out that there was crop devistation, a war by the name of Shermans March, a loss of slaves took place, destruction of property and other things like that. There was shifts in labor for the South. Tjen we talk about the economic
consequences of the North. They too had destruction of property, population losses, and lack of jobs for their people. Then it gets kind of fun when Mrs. G does the different impressions of governers like Sarah Palin, John Mc Cain, And George Bush. we discuss and go over a lot of different things. These things aren't just in the old ancient days but they are in the present also. So we have fun and what we talk about helps our knowledge expand.
