Instead of a test on the causes of the Civil War each mess will construct a newspaper that recounts the developments that lead to the conflict. The paper project is described in detail in the attached document. It must include the 5"S" Causes of the war - Slavery, Sectionalism, 'Style, State's Rights (or Sovereignty) and Secession.
Use Webresources and examples provided in class to make your paper look like papers from the 19th Century. In the Civil War Resources section of this site there is a link to Harper's Weekly, a great example.
