Ch. 13 Civil War

If at least 54% of a class answers questions 9-10, that class will earn a letter.  On the back bottom of your homework add the following questions:

Visit Civil War 150, an interactive website for the answers.  Answer the questions and then explore the rest of the site.  Can't view the site?  Try using Internet Explorer.
