Battle Cry!

To help you all as you study this chapter, we thought it might be help for you to list out some of the details, such as the battles, with some of the specifics about each one, so we created a form for you to fill out. If you would like a copy of this please email Mrs. Sherri and she will send it to you. We cannot post documents on the blog. Or if you prefer, you can use the format below to write up your own. Either way, you will need to bring this to class with you on Friday!

The War Between the States

First Battle of Manassas - July 1861

This first major land battle made the North realize that the Civil War would not be quickly over.



The Ironclads of the War - These two ships would put an end to the age of wooden ships.

The Monitor (the Northern ironclad that threatened the blockade)
The Merrimac (the Southern ironclad that also threatened the blockade)

I think this History class did a great job explaining the importance of this clash.
However, I think their accents may need a little work!



The effort to blockade the South and capture the Mississippi had a curious name...
The Anaconda Plan



The Battle of Shiloh - April 1862 - Grant's army is caught off guard. This was a Union victory but a costly battle.



The Battle of Antietam - September 1862 - This battle resulted in the Emancipation Proclamation as declared by President Abraham Lincoln.



The Emancipation Proclamation - You have studied this, here it is in the context of it's historical importance. This Proclamation was issued upon the victory of Antietam and put into place on January 1, 1863.

Assignments for the week of March 19th

Below are your assignment for this week. You will notice that we have you rereading each days assigned reading from the days before in BJU History. This will help you be more familiar with the material. Remember YOU HAVE A TEST ON FRIDAY! You only have one week for this chapter.  The rereading will help you know the materials better on Friday. Pay close attention to all the words in bold as well as any photos and information recorded with them. We suggest you take notes of those items and review them again on Thursday to help you study.

The Omnibus assignments should be enjoyable for you to read and should not take much time to answer the questions, yet it should give you a good feel of what slavery was like through the eyes of actual slaves. You do not have to read all of the individual's accounts, only the ones assigned each day, but feel free to read more if you like.
