Civil War: Slavery Debates, 110'ers

The 110'ers took on the difficult subject of slavery. It was their job to pretend they were a person of the Civil War times and present their opinion and reasons as to why the Confederacy supported slavery. Here is a sampling of our hard work. Upon finishing each presentation, we practiced our complimenting. Everyone did a great job and we clear on the reasons the Confederacy wanted to go to Civil War against the Union.

Civil War: Secession Debates, the Union Side

This afternoon, the 109'ers, participated in their first debate as members of either the Union or the Confederacy. We stated our platforms, defended our side's position with 3 solid reasons, and then ended with our group's slogan. We hope you enjoy our videoes as much as we enjoyed making them.
