Unit VII : CRISIS AND COMPROMISE: ANTEBELLUM AMERICA 

Students study the causes and consequences of reform movements during the early to mid-nineteenth century, including: women’s suffrage and abolitionism. Students review the history of American slavery, focusing deeply on the facets of nineteenth century slavery in the United States.  They analyze and compare the lives of the enslaved with the lives of freedmen and determine causes for the expansion of both abolitionist and pro-slavery movements. Asking What is our moral obligation in times of great crisis, students examine how reformers chose to act for social justice and the impacts of different types of action, especially in regard to slavery and abolition during the antebellum years. Students participate in a Paideia seminar on John Brown in Cornerstone 4. Culminating with an argumentative essay addressing the compelling question, students will then take authentic informed action by writing their own protest songs for how they intend to fulfill their moral obligation in times of great crisis to be performed publicly at a city-wide Cornerstone showcase event.

BIG Ideas
  • As Americans start to embrace the political power of individual action, social change in the United States begins to take shape.
  • In response to the steady stream of immigration, the definition of American citizenship begins to evolve.
  • Individuals both for and against the institution of slavery produced bodies of work to rally people for their cause.
  • Disagreements between the North and the South, especially over the issue of slavery, led to escalating tensions within the country.
  • The nation's unresolved stance on slavery began at the founding of the country and continues to be felt until this day.
