Election of 1860 in Media

          Recently, we have been discussing the Civil War in class. This week we have been specifically focusing on the Election of 1860. In a group we discussed 5 pictures, from Civil War in Art website. We wrote notes on each picture, all answering the question,  "How were the results of the  Election of 1860 representative of the deep divisions  over slavery?". Next, we found 3 more pictures to fit into our notes, we chose two of Abraham Lincoln and one of Jefferson Davis. We put all the pictures in an Educreations and answered the essential question. We answered, the Election of 1860 represented the deep divisions over slavery, because after Lincoln was elected, the South states joined the Confederate, with Jefferson Davis as a president. When Lincoln tried to reunite the union they still furthered themselves.
