In the
American Presidential Election of 1860, when the votes came in, the divisions
between North and South were evident in the way the states voted. My class
explored deeper into this topic, as displayed by the video bellow. To introduce
this lesson, we watched a Crash Course video by John Green. Next we looked at a map depicting the
election results and figured out why certain places wanted certain men to be
president. Then we explored the website Civil War in Art to learn about the other events that led up to the Civil War. With this
information, and the pictures on the website and some other pictures we found,
we created our video explaining these events on Educreations.
