Questions from the video: You can also access an editable document in the Resources tab under 7th Grade Week 1 or you can copy and paste these into your own document. There is a minimum of four sentences per question. Make sure you answer all parts of the question in order to receive full credit. Please email your responses to me.
1. By the 1800s, the country was deeply divided. Describe the fears that Southerners and Northerners faced. How did the country’s expansion west threaten to upset the delicate balance of power between slave and free states?
2. Lincoln described the United States as a “house divided.” Discuss what he meant by this and how the country was at odds over the economic base of the South and the principles of the nation.
3. Why do you think President-elect Lincoln felt so strongly about preserving the Union? Conversely, why might Southerners have believed that secession was justified?
