Today we watched a portion of the first episode of Ken Burns' The Civil War. You'll find a link to the episode below (we watched the first nineteen minutes or so, and then skipped to the thirty-three minute mark and watched another ten minutes or so.) You should have notes for me to check tomorrow, including the answers to the following questions:
What percentage of the U.S. population died in the war?
At Cold Harbor, ______ men fell in _____ minutes.
In what year did the last Civil War veteran die?
What percentage of slaves lived to be sixty years old?
By 1860, one out of _____ Americans belonged to another American.
What was the first state to secede from the South?
Second, on a separate piece of paper, you need to choose a quote or an image from the portion we watched and write a response paragraph. You can write about why that image or quote affects you, how it does, what it reminds you of, what you learn or realize from that image or quote.
