learning?• How do you encourage students to actively process the most important
content?• How do you provide students with opportunities to apply their new
learning?• How do you keep complex text analysis central in learning?
Engage in New Learning• REVIEW IPGs: Keep in mind the indicators that should

Chapter 15Chapter 15
SECESSION AND THE CIVIL SECESSION AND THE CIVIL WARWAR
Lincoln’s First Inaugural AddressI hold that in contemplation of universal law and of the Constitution the Union of these States is perpetual. Perpetuity is implied, if not expressed, in the fundamental law of all national governments. It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination. … Descending from these general principles, we find the proposition that in legal contemplation the Union is perpetual confirmed by the history of the Union itself. The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed, in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It was further matured, and the faith of all the then thirteen States expressly plighted and engaged that it should be perpetual, by the Articles of Confederation in 1778. And finally, in 1787, one of the declared objects for ordaining and establishing the Constitution was "to form a more perfect Union."… It follows from these views that no State upon its own mere motion can lawfully get out of the Union; that resolves and ordinances to that effect are legally void, and that acts of violence within any State or States against the authority of the United States are insurrectionary or revolutionary, according to circumstances.…In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it."

“Of all the country’s foundational and key documents the Emancipation Proclamation may well be the most misunderstood. On the one hand, there are a healthy share of Americans who believe that Lincoln freed all the slaves with a stroke of his pen. On the other, there is this cynical modern take that says Lincoln wasn’t interested in emancipation, that he took action for purely political reasons, for military reasons and this notion that not many slaves were actually freed. None of that is exactly true.”
Eric Foner, historian, quoted in America's Understanding of Emancipation Proclamation On Its 150th Anniversary Too Simple For Country's Own Good (Huffington Post, 1/1/13)

Are there reasons for the misunderstanding Foner notes that can be found in the Emancipation Proclamation itself?
Read and discuss with a partner your assigned portion of the document for evidence of the Emancipation as a freedom document and evidence of it as a political and military document.

THINKING THINKING CRITICALLYCRITICALLY1. With a partner, study these graphs.
2. Write down as many questions as you can about this information. What information would help you better understand these graphs?•An example question is: What was the total population of the United States during each of these wars?
3. Rank your questions from most interesting/important to least. Research to find the answer to one of your top three questions for homework.
4. Whole class discussion: Why is it important to look at the “white space” (what is left out of a source)?

Apply, Evaluate, & Reflect• APPLY LEARNING & EVALUATE PP ADDITIONS:
• Did the texts meet the indicators of Core Action 1? Why? How?• Were the questions asked text-dependent and text-specific?• Did the activities meet the indicators of Core Action 2?• How would you ensure that in using this PP and activities you were
meeting the indicators of Core Action 3?
• REFLECT: • As we often ask about balance in the classroom (e.g. how often to
close read), how often should teachers be using PP lectures?• How might your department PLCs be able to adapt their lectures to
be more highly core aligned?
