Class Summary 12.18.12

As we continue looking at the events following the succession of the lower south. Yesterday, we used technology, and our legs! And went on a scavenger hunt throughout the school looking for QR codes that held facts to important civil war battles. Today, we looked at Habeas Corpus and president Lincoln's decision to suspend the right during the war in order to imprison or charge those who were against the war effort. I find the argument whether it is okay to limits people's freedoms in order to do the right thing. And also, find Lincoln's idea that those who are willing to take freedoms away from others do not deserve it for themselves. I have found to be a big believe and advocate for that ideal.
