Eighth Grade Work - The Road to Civil War

In your composition book, you should have the answers to the following questions:

• When did the Mexican-American War end?
• What treaty ended the war? What did the USA gain?
• Who were the three major candidates in the Election of 1848? What were the electoral college and popular vote results?
• What issue did the third party (not the Whigs or the Democrats) run on?
• Who were the candidates in the Election of 1852? What were the electoral college and popular vote results?

Then you were to read Section One of Chapter Twelve and answer questions one, two, four, and five from the Section Review. I'll check for all tomorrow.
