Instruction

2-3 paragraphs, can be more if needed, needs one scholarly source and/or textbook. There are two different discussions Week 4: Discussion Threads (Discussion will be on quiz and Final) Discussions 1 – The Civil War In the beginning, each side in the Civil War believed the war would be brief and that their side would win. What advantages did each side hold that made them feel this way? Elaborate One of the most important events in American history and often referred to by historians as the "Second American Revolution." As a society, it will settle the issue of slavery once and for all, though leave the problem of racial inequality an open and bitterly contested question for the next century and beyond. The Civil War cost over 600,000 Americans their lives (one estimate hypothesizes that 3% of all American men aged 14-44 during this time period _died_ in the Civil War) but changed our conception of what the relationship between states and our federal government ought to be and reaffirmed that "all men are created equal" in the eyes of the law, or at least ought to be. Before we jump into the start of the war, how it was fought, and its outcome, I'd like to first have a quick review discussion around the following: What were some of the events or trends in the preceding decades (the 1830s through the 1850s) that would add tension to the already simmering animosity between North and South? I would like you to focus on one of the ideas below and make an argument for why you think it was so important: Compromise of 1850, John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry, the Election of 1860 (Lincoln's Election), the Dred Scott Decision, Economic Divergence Between North and South (Industrialization vs. "King Cotton"). Terms highlighted I would especially like to see discussed, since we did not get to them last week. Discussion 2 - Reconstruction Lincoln had one plan for bringing the rebel states back into the Union; Andrew Johnson another; and the Radical Republican Congress a third. Discuss the aims of each president, and explain why and in what ways Congress took control of Reconstruction. The aftermath of the Civil War and the era defined by it (1865-1876) is referred to as "Reconstruction," for obvious reasons. Both physically and spiritually, the war tore the nation apart and the decade that followed resounded with the groans and cries of the dead, wounded, freed, and disenfranchised throughout the South. At the forefront stood two imposing questions: What to do with four million newly freed African-Americans? How should the Union begin to reintegrate the Southern states back into the Union after their rebellion? In order to do so, there were differing plans of action. In particular, two plans were proposed early on: Lincoln's "10 Percent Plan" and the "Radical" alternative offered by Congress' Republicans. So, focusing on Chapter 14, pp. 408-411, what were the major differences between these two plans, but, more importantly, which would you have voted for as an average American of the time? Roleplaying here is important - imagine you were a Northerner who was nominally against slavery, but still harbored the racial ideas of the day in their hearts, and may have lost friends or family in a war the was fought, for many Northerners, at least, far from their homes.
