Homework - 1/6

Due Thursday - Prepare for a "3 Question Quiz" on "Died of Democracy"; be prepared to explain the different arguments that Donald uses to state that the Confederate governments  adherence to democratic principles in a time of war actually undermined its ability to successfully carry out the war.

Also, address the "What's the big deal?" question, in writing, regarding the Gettysburg Address.  The question should be taken seriously, as it is a big deal.  Your task is to evaluate what it is in this short speech, both in its text and its context, that makes it such an important statement about American values and principles.

You are also responsible for the rest of chapter 15 by Thursday.  We will be starting Chapter 16 on Friday.
