"Battle oh horrid battle": May 31, 2016

If you were in class today, you watched a video on the Battle of Antietam. It was a critical turning point in the Civil War in several ways.

HOMEWORK:  Using the notes you took in class, and/or the resources shared below, complete the handout identifying how Antietam was a turning point battle.

RESOURCES:

Ducksters Antietam for Students

Photography and Antietam

Emancipation Proclamation

Reaction to Emancipation - just read about the first part.

How the war affected ordinary Americans (more difficult reading level)

Impact of Civil War photography on opinion (also more difficult)
