Chapter 15 The Civil War Questions
Today, May 11, we start Chapter 15, the Civil War. As in Ch 11, 12 and 13, I will be posting section questions every 2-3 days. Nothing should be sent to me separately unless directed to do so. You are required to answer the questions on ONE Word document (like you did in the chapters above) and submit it by May 27th at 11:59pm.

Some sections will have video questions and separate additional worksheets, some will not. All of the separate worksheets will be listed here and will have separate due dates. Please wait to send them to me until I ask for them so save them separately from the Ch 15 Questions Word Document.
