 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * The Civil War was a tumultuous time in United States history. Families were ripped apart as the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy) clashed in bloody and gruesome battles that turned homes and farmlands into war – torn country. The war took its toll on the nation for four long years, and the effects of the war can still be seen today. This unit is designed so that students will understand causes of the war, advantages and disadvantages for both sides, and decisions made by the North led to a difficult reconstruction period for the South. By the end of the unit, students will be able to answer question such as how did the expansion of slavery lead to the civil war, how did the economic and military advantage the Union held lead to a victory, and why did the decisions the Union made lead to a difficult reconstruction period for the South? Students will also engage in an authentic performance task with the finished product being an iMovie. = = ||
