Essential Question
What events and/or decisions caused conflict within United States that to led to war?
Objective
a. The students will be able to explain a series of events that led to the Civil War.
Background
Tensions grew for many years before the first shots rang out at Fort Sumter, signaling the beginning of the Civil War. There was a clear division between the north and the south's perspectives of this young country. The Missouri Compromise, The Compromise of 1850, The Dred Scott Decision, John Brown's Raid, Uncle Toms Cabin, and the 1860's election did not occur in a matter of days of each other. These events spanned forty years. To people in the south, those long years of dissatisfaction intensified when Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860. This was a final straw that led to several southern states seceding from the Union.

California Department of Education/VFW:
California State Teacher of the Year Award
2014
What an incredible honor to have traveled with my family up to the California State Capital in Sacramento to receive this award. It was an exciting experience that I will always draw strength and power from. To be commended and given ovation for teaching kids what I love and for following my passion is ...oh so incredible.
Thank you to the California Department of Education and the state and local VFW, the Rosedale District and my friends and colleagues for the pat on the back- with a special thank you to Gina, Valerie, Betsy, Rosanne, Chuck and Michael - for teaching me to be a better teacher everyday; and, thanks for keeping me out of trouble (and/or dragging you into it) - sometimes.
To my Mom and Dad --fearless warriors, selfless servants, unwavering unionists, standing up for public education for 80 years collectively -- I am eternally indebted - you are my heroes and my inspiration each and every moment both in and out of the classroom.
To Susie, Ally and JPjr - thanks for putting up with your "History Teacher" husband/dad. I know it can be a bit overbearing at times.
