  • Who were the Copperheads?
  • Why were there draft riots?
  • Why was Lincoln worried he would lose the election in 1864?
  • What was Sherman's 'total war'?

Eighth Grade History Question

Eighth graders,

As we discussed today, I want you to ponder and then seriously answer this question:

How has watching the video in class affected your learning?

Answer this from a personal perspective. Please go deep on this one.
