The next civil war unit we did was the Election of 1860 and the essential question from class was, " "How were the results of the Election of 1860 representative of the deep divisions over slavery?" To learn more about this topic in class we a crash course video in class, which was very helpful because crash course videos are my favorite. The country was divided in section, Lincoln was against slavery, Stephen A. Douglas was popular sovereignty which was when people were able to vote on whether not slavery existed, John Bell wanted to conserve the constitution and the union as it is, which included slavery. and John C. Breckenridge said that all slaves were inferior to whites and that slavery was the number one priority. Breckenridge was expected to win the Southern states because slavery was already entrenched in the South, Lincoln was expected to win the North because they were already against slavery and Douglas was expected to win Missouri because the Missouri people were already pro slavery. Lincoln ended up winning the election of 1860. We then analyzed five photographs. Then we used educreations to create a video explaining the election of 1860.
