Assignment #24: 8th Grade Civil War Predictions
Hello Students!
This week, we will be looking at the factors that drove the northern and southern state to civil war. In class, we will read and discuss chapter 14, sections 1 and 2. Now I want your opinion. Who is going to win the civil war? Now, we all know how it ends, but simply looking at what we have done so far, I would like you to use this information and make a prediction about who will be victorious. Click on the comment link under this post, and then write a minimum one paragraph argument on who you believe will win. Make sure to use information taken from class, but also use your own opinion (I would like at least two different facts). Make sure your arguments are not only appropriate, but also can be supported. Write your name at the top of your comment.
