Lincoln conclusions assignment

Greetings from the White House!

Today in class we focused on interpreting the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural by going over the document analysis questions that correspond to those speeches. We also discussed Sherman's March to the Sea and the concept of Total War.
We closed class by introducing the assignment that we will be doing in class tomorrow which focuses on the question: How should Lincoln be remembered?
