Description
Students explore the effects of the Civil War by examining Reconstruction, the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and the impact of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments on the United States. They analyze Lincoln’s plans for reunification, discuss John Wilkes Booth’s motives for assassinating Lincoln, and complete activities and essays evaluating both the positive and negative outcomes of the war. Students also investigate how the nation attempted to rebuild politically and socially after the conflict ended. Through discussions and written responses, they consider how freedom, citizenship, and voting rights changed during Reconstruction.
