- Horace Greeley's letter to Abraham Lincoln, A Prayer for Twenty Millions
- Lincoln's Address on Colonization
- Frederick Douglass' response to Lincoln, The President and his Speeches.
We then broke up into groups to create a Lucidchart that traced the factors that influenced Lincoln's beliefs in 1862 (See the linked directions).
Here is a link to the directions for today's group work.
When we finished and shared our Lucidcharts, we then returned to the classroom to watch The Higher Object, a scene from Ken Burns' documentary. When finished, we read The Emancipation Proclamation and then answered the questions from the packet about it.
