The Mapping of Texas History: Civil War & Reconstruction
|
In this layer of our mapping project, students will map the Confederate states and Civil War battles in Texas. As time allows, it is recommended to add major battles and events happening outside of Texas to give students context and background information for next year in US History. The essential questions included challenge students to agree or disagree with events that happened during this time. They would also be great conversation starters in Google Classroom questions (be sure to link the map the the question).
