Welcome to Period 5 (1844-1877). This Unit covers the causes and effects of the Civil War and the resulting Reconstruction period.

In the interest of time, we are only covering the first half of Chapter 16. This reading covers the Antebellum Era, which is a fancy word for the time period leading up to the Civil War (so think causation).

As always, "Focus Questions" should guide your reading and notes, but you do not necessarily have to explicitly answer them.
