Description
These two political cartoons, Southern Chivalry __ Argument versus Clubs and Mistress Columbia, focus on the increasing tensions between the North and the South -- and the national government's unwillingness (or inability) to address the issue -- as the country headed relentlessly down the path towards civil war.
The download includes the following:
1. A PowerPoint - complete with discussion notes for each slide - that teachers can use to lead students through the cartoon.
2. An introductory paragraph that describes the circumstances behind each cartoon.
3. A full-size picture of each cartoon, allowing students to label as instructed.
4. A graphic organizer that assists students in identifying different parts of the cartoon, analyzing symbols, and determining the meaning of each cartoon.
5. A series of questions based on each political cartoon.
6. An answer key for each cartoon.
For those seeking distance learning options, the assignment associated with each cartoon can be readily converted to a digital activity using Google Slides.
While you can purchase Southern Chivalry__Argument versus Clubs and Mistress Columbia separately, I am offering them together here at a discount.
These cartoons can also be purchased as part of a bundle I have posted on Amped Up Learning: Political Cartoons in American History.
