[]
 * Differences:** Some states remained free, some states proclaimed themselves as an independant state, seperate from the country.
 * Similarities:** Used the constitiution's contents to help support their (states) causes. Shunned or being proud to be part of the "United States". The Constitution bound all of the citizens in the state.

Does the reasoning behind each of these Acts make sense to you? Why or why not? Would you sign on to these Secession Acts if you lived in the state it represents? //Being bound to a strict set of rules may sound a bit harsh and hard to understand, but these rules are protecting the people who are willing to be bound to it. I think the reasoning behind all these acts make no sense because, it seperates the nation into almost-a-debris-kind-of-country where they get "cutoff" from the rest of the nation and become prone to attack. I would not sign or become part of secession because// it marks me as a traitor to the oppostie side of the fight and being a bit of a patriot myself, I believe in unification instead of secession.

Examine the photo and complete a thorough I see / It means in your virtual notebook. I See: 2 men; wearing a black suit (one with 3 stripes on each arm and none on the other) and a cap (one cap appears as flattened/deformed and the other "ordinary"). 2 Cigars being shared by the 2 men by crossing arms. An ornate box; most likely used as a memento or storage, with a gold border. Arms (on the 2 men) appear near the heart (organ). It means: The 2 men most likely symbolize men from/has relation to the Civil War; confederants or patriots. Cigars; smoking was a main pastime of the people of the civil war, or any period of time. The ornate box; storage for memories with the photograph of the 2 men.

What are some similarities between these men? What are some differences? Take a guess at the age of each. Similarities: All 4 men; not women, men, are dressed with a black or brown coat with buttons and a hat which is unique (being compared to each other). All 4 men appear to be all white, as in appearance and/or ethnicity. Each man probably served in the military; both sides. Differences: [Top Right] and [Bottom Left]. Major Age Differences. Top to Bottom : 4,10,12,16

Copy this into your virtual notebook - as we study the Civil War you should refer back to these themes and mark down examples where these conflicts are illustrated and how the people living these conflicts responded. =‍Civil War Themes=

Read the following mini-bio of Robert E. Lee: In early 1861, President [|Abraham Lincoln] invited Lee to take command of the entire Union Army. Lee declined because his home state of Virginia was, despite his wishes, seceding from the Union. When Virginia declared its secession from the [|Union] in April 1861, Lee chose to follow his home state.[|[][|1][[[]|]]] Lee's eventual role in the newly established Confederacy was to serve as a senior military adviser to [|President] [|Jefferson Davis]. //**Task**// //Pretend that Massachusetts has seceded for reasons which you disagree (the right of states to determine whether or not to allow slavery). You are asked by the President to uphold the Constitution by commanding the US Army which will re-take Massachusetts by force. Do you accept this job from the President or do you resign and return to Massachusetts to defend it against the US Army? Why?//
 * Robert Edward Lee** (January 19, 1807 – October 12, 1870) was a career military officer who is best known for having commanded the Confederate [|Army of Northern Virginia] in the [|American Civil War]. The son of U.S. Revolutionary War hero, [|Henry ("Light Horse Harry") Lee III], and a top graduate of [|West Point], Robert E. Lee distinguished himself as an exceptional officer and [|combat engineer] in the [|United States Army] for 32 years before resigning to join the Confederate cause. By the end of the American Civil War, he was commanding general of the [|Confederate army]. He became a postwar icon of the South's "[|lost cause]," and is still admired to this day.

//Reflection: Is there anyway to avoid taking a side if you live in the United States during the Civil War? Explain your reasoning.// //I am willing to fight against my own land, in return for reputation and loyalty for my president, since the North had power, almost a power where it is overwhelming. Of course if I would rebel, i would become a traitor (both sides), so either way or side I join, I would become a mortal enemy to the other side of this mission. The only reason or way I can avoid all this conflict is to move to another country such as Mexico or the country of Britain, sure it is a "good" way to AVOID conflict but it will come back and bite me, in the end, since it gives me a reputation of coward or traitor.//
