Emancipation-Gettysburg

Here is the plan for today:

• Introduce the essay that you'll write to complete this unit: Civil War Essay.
• Review the Emancipation Proclamation and Frederick Douglass' editorial, Men of Color to Arms. We'll use the Guided Reading questions to do so.
• We'll consider the significance of the Battle of Gettysburg.
• If time, we'll consider the consequences of the Emancipation Proclamation and the establishment of conscription by watching the clip from the Civil War: Bottom Rail on Top.  Here is the study guide for the last few clips of the documentary that we're going to watch (we may not get to each).
