Test day

We had our test today. I could have get a 100. But... I read South as North.. I'm so sad.

Here is another advice for Mr. Schick: Critical word should be Italicized, bold, CAPITALIZED, and huge 

For example, How did rich men in the SOUTH get out of fighting in the Civil War?

Conscription: drafting of people for military service
Discrimination: unjust treatment of a person based on false ideas about a particular group
Total war: the destruction of food, equipment, and anything else of use to soldiers and civilians
Assassinate: to murder a political leader like a President
Veteran: a person who has served in the armed forces

the Emancipation Proclamation was written in Jan 1, 1863

We heard about the story of Dixie.
We read section three and four by ourselves.
We voted for when to have to a test. 

Chap 4 sec1,2

Union: Abraham Lincoln, General Mclellan, General Ulysses S. Grant
Blockade of ports in the South (rebuilt the Virginia with iron plates)
Put iron plates - the Monitor
South does not break thee blockade

Confederacy: General Robert E. Lee
Battle of Antietam near Richmond. VA. South wins. 23000 casualtie

Today, all of our class went to Harry's senior project. I contribute guitar solo in his album, Toby sang, and Arthur soloed drum, and Harry played Sex phone. 

 

Today, we had our class outside besides the trash can.
We brought our pen and paper to take notes.

I got 95 on the last test. The only one I got wrong was because I saw "d" as "b" while I know the correct answer very well. That's so sad.

I would suggest Mr. Schick to use CAPITAL letter for multiple choices next time.

Chap 10 sec2

What was General Lee's plan to win the war?
Lee felt that the South's best chance to win the war was to do it quickly. He planed to attack McClellan's forces as often as he can.

North won the Battle of Antietam.

What happened in the battle between the Virginia and the Monitor?
They shot at each other for several hours. Neither could sink the other.

Why was New Orleans important to the South?
New Orleans was an important supply point for Confederate troops.

Why was the Battle of Gettysburg important?
The Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War. Confederate troops were badly beaten and would never again be strong enough for a big attack on the North.

Why was the capture of Vicksburg important for the North.
It means the North could take control of the entire Mississippi river.

What did the fight between the Virginia and the Monitor show?
Neither North or South is stronger than each other.
