Reference no: EM131402800
Instructions: Answer the following questions on the assigned reading and respond to two of your classmates' postings. You need to utilize the assigned reading to answer these questions, and you need to provide evidence of your ideas. Posts should be about 2-3 paragraphs long. Be sure to be inquisitive in your responses to a classmate's posting. Do not simply respond with comments such as "good point" as that does not further any discussion of the ideas found in the reading (and it does not help your grade). Ask probing questions, challenge your colleagues, connect ideas to previous learning, and dive further into meanings, ideas, themes, etc. You can modify your posts any time prior to the listed due date. If your post is modified after the due date, then it is considered late (see the syllabus for my policy on late assignments). Be sure to cite sources when providing evidence (use MLA/parenthetical citations).
Prompt: This week and last week's assigned documents reveal something that historians have to grapple with all of the time: the meaning of ideas and definitions change depending on the viewpoint they come from. Reflect on this in light of the assigned documents for last week (Gorn; Lincoln "A House Divided"; Secession of South Carolina; Constitution of Confederate States of America) and the assigned documents from this week (Proclamation of April 17, 1861; Anti-secession Resolution; Emancipation Proclamation; James McPherson).
Based on the first letter of your last name, answer the following questions:
If your last name begins with A-L: In order to reflect on the above idea think about these questions: Why did northern states fight in the Civil War? Why did northern soldiers fight in the Civil War? Where do these ideas and definitions connect to the social significance of frontier fighting (Gorn), even though this kind of fighting was not about the Civil War itself? When you respond to classmates, respond to people who did not answer the same questions you did.
