Class Update: 11-30-12 and 12-3-12

I've been quite the bad seed lately and keep forgetting to make my blog posts, but here it is! On Friday we worked on a packet about what caused some Southern states to want to succeed from the union. Today we looked at a political cartoon of the 1860 presidential election. It depicted Republican candidates, including Lincoln, ripping apart a large map of the United States while others worked diligently to glue it back together. Clearly, the cartoonist did not agree with Lincoln as he is seen as tearing apart our nation.
