The podcast will be up later this evening.
We are teetering on the edge of the American Civil War, which means our quarter is quickly coming to an end. Today we reviewed critical events that pushed our nation closer to disunion: the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and the Brooks-Sumner incident in the Senate.
Following our review of "The Crisis Turns Violent," we focused our attention on a small video clip from Ken Burns' PBS series, "The Civil War." In it, we reviewed slavery in the South, the abolitionist movement, and ended with John Brown's raid on the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry, VA, in 1859.
Your homework for tonight is to read pages 370-377 in the textbook, and learn about our nation "On the Edge of Civil War."
