Jim Crow Laws: Direct Instruction
In my direct instruction lesson plan I begin to announce the progression of the events leading to the Jim Crow Laws of the South. It serves as a ending to the entire unit with the Civil war ending and the Reconstruction era just starting.
Who Did It: Concept Lesson
In this lesson plan the students will learn about the arguments of both the southern and northern positions preceding the Civil War. The Civil war wasn’t just differences among the states and federal government, but also differences among cultures between the North and South.

John Brown Raid: Choice Lesson Plan
This lesson provides the background and context for the raid. Explain to your students that while the election of Abraham Lincoln and the secession of the Southern states were immediate causes of the Civil War, many people believe that another “trigger” event of the Civil War was John Brown's 1859 Raid at Harpers Ferry.
North Versus South: MultiMedia Lesson Plan
In this lesson they list the differences and similarities between life in the North and the South in the years before the Civil War. And discuss how these differences contributed to serious disagreements between the North and South.
Abraham Lincoln First InAugural Address: Cooperative Lesson Plan
This lesson will explores the decision-making process that precipitated the Civil War, focusing on deliberations within the Lincoln administration that led to the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861. Students first review the situation that Lincoln inherited when he took office in March 1861, and summarize his views on the critical issues before him as reflected in his First Inaugural Address. Finally, students investigate the Confederate contention that, by attempting to secure Fort Sumter, Lincoln provoked the South to defend itself and thus ignited the Civil War.
