Description

This resource is a Google Form and Doc linked to an interactive image on the massacre of New Orleans in 1866.

In July 1866, riots broke out in New Orleans when freedmen gathered to support extending the right to vote to African Americans. White mobs attacked, leading many northerners to believe harsher measures were necessary to restructure southern society.

Students will analyze the political cartoon by Thomas Nast of the massacre in New Orleans in 1866 during the Reconstruction Era. Then, students will complete the 14 reading comprehension questions and 1 grid on the form. Next, students will answer the 2 short answer questions on the doc. This activity has worked very well in pairs. This is an excellent enrichment activity. 

Students will learn about:

  • The victims
  • The attackers
  • President Andrew Johnson
  • Thomas Nast
  • The meaning of the graffiti

This product is editable and the questions on the form have been shuffled.
