After a robust conversation about John Brown, we kept the discussion activities going today.  Students were asked to pick one of the following four events and make an argument that it was the most destructive event for sectional harmony: Compromise of 1850, publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, Kansas-Nebraska Act or the Dred Scott decision.  Here were the 3rd/4th period combined totals:

Compromise of 1850 - 7
Uncle Tom's Cabin - 14
Kansas-Nebraska Act - 30
Dred Scott - 10

Remember that Chapter 19 should be done tomorrow.  See you then.
