The Civil War was the result of decades of issues, ideas, and actions by individuals and groups, across a less than 100 year old America. In this seminar, teachers will explore the connection between emerging ideas about slavery and race, and a Supreme Court case that contributed to the causes of the Civil War.  Using discussion and primary documents, the scholar will facilitate the conversation instead of lecturing. Registrants are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions.

Notes:This session is being presented by Teaching American History and is being held at ESC Region 11 in White Settlement.
