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.

Notice how Great Britain abolished slavery in 1834, but the United States would not abolish slavery until 1865.

The road to equality is long and difficult, and going on even today!

Compare and contrast the historical experience of freed Blacks and enslaved Backs.

Bullet point responses are sufficient so long as you reference specific facts and details from the reading as examples. Your response should identify at least one similarity and one difference in preparation for our class discussion.
