The Dred Scott decision / Huck Finn continues

We spent the first part of class today going through the details of the Dred Scott decision.  We will continue to keep track of the ways in which the decision - and the dissent - play a role in mid-19th century America.

After we collected your journals, you worked individually to read and answer these questions about chapters 14 and 15 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  If you did not complete the packet in class, we asked you to do so for homework.  Also, for the weekend reading - chapters 16-23 - you do not need to write a journal entry. Just keep notes / annotations of what happens.

Here is the map we shared about where the action of the novel is taking place:
