Thanksgiving


Hello all! You dodn't really think I wouldn't gve you an assignment did you?

In any case here goes:

Notes - Pageant Chapters 17-21
Terms - Corresponding chapters in AMSCO (which means any info from pageant can be used to complete the terms listed in your AMSCO book)

Questions:

1. To what degree and in what ways did slaves in the antebellum South have control over their lives?
2. Why did slaveholders begin to ardently defend the institution of slavery in the 1830s? How did Southerners defend the institution of slavery against the abolitionist critique ? Why did non-slaveholding white people of the South defend slavery?
3. How did the acquisition of new territories in the 1840’s bring the issue of slavery to the forefront of the American consciousness?
4. What was the ideological basis of the new Republican Party? (1850s)

Mr J.

1.) Thank you for not giving us a project
2.) I'm pretty sure I sent out an email to our entire team; if i missed people, that is unfortunate... for them.
3.) I forgot to say thank you for the message. Now worries, we had an amazing time too. I can't wait until next year!
4.) Happy Day-Early Turkey Day

Ladies and Gentlemen...

It says Thanksgiving assignment. Please don't insult your own intellgiences by pretending that you don't have to complete all parts of the assignment. It is clearly stated what needs to be done. I have often mentioned the need to read ahead and take notes ahead in class. You must complete the notes, the terms, and the questions for Monday.

Mr. J, there's a political cartoon that I don't understand..at all.

I wanted to put a political cartoon on my broadsheet and this is the only one I could find. Can you explain it to me?

please&thankyou

I think that it is trying to say that the one man is going to wake up and believe that he wrote the document.
