May 4 – May 8
Hello, May the 4th be with you. This week we are going to begin looking at the causes of the Civil War. First we will look at how technology starts to change. With that change in technology, there is going to begin a political change. The differences between the North and South are going to be exposed and these changes are going to push each side further and further apart politically. Finally, we will look at some of the ways society was trying to change with various reform movements. We will not have an online meeting on Monday, but this Wednesday we will be meeting on iLearn using the Big Blue Button, more directions on this will follow.
As you may remember, my dad has been sick and I finally couldn’t wait any longer to go see him so I went up north this weekend. We had to observe social distancing which was hard, but I was glad to see my parents. Here is an image of what that looked like.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. I know times are tough, and we are all doing our best to get through this. Keep pressing on and we will get there together. I miss you all.
