Today in class we began a new unit on the Civil War. First, we divided into groups and discussed the following questions: 1. What rights does a free person have? Who is considered free? By whom?
2. Who has power to be free in America?
3. Are there different ways to be free?
4. What does American freedom promise an individual? Is this goal attainable? For whom? Why? Are these promises available to every American?
5. Is there a difference between freedom and justice?
If you were absent, please answer these questions on paper and bring the answers to me for your class participation credit for the day. The answers do not need to be in essay form, but
