In AP History you do NOT need to know Military History. If you are a big Military History Buff - I am so sorry. In AP Histories you just need to know what led up to the conflict, who won, and what was the impact. That is why my APUSH students made a Road to Civil War poster! This is WHAT they need to know! In the 1840s the ONLY thing Americans talked about was SLAVERY!!! It is no surprise there was a Civil War!
The posters were so creative and so informative!!! Here are some of the events they included:
1. Compromise of 1850
2. Uncle Tom's Cabin
3. Kansas Nebraska Act
4. Bleeding Kansas
5. Brook/Sumner Affair
6. Dred Scott Decision
7. Lincoln/Douglas Debates
8. Election of 1858
9. Harper Ferry's Raid
10. Election of 1860
My first hour hung them! So grateful
