12/19-12/20

Yesterday in history we took notes on the Civil War through 1862. We talked about the First Battle of Bull Run and what each side was expecting out of the battle and how they were prepared for it. We also talked about the battle along the Antietam Creek and how it was the bloodiest day in American History. Then Lincoln made issued his Emancipation Proclamation and read a paper about that.Today was the last day of history before break! In two groups we answered questions about either Gettysburg or Vicksburg and then made large billboards about the battles.
