Causes of the Civil War Handout
This is an informational handout on the causes of the American Civil War, which I usually use to introduce the unit. I used the acronym "SACKED," which stands for "Slavery and Sectionalism," "Arguments," "Compromises," "Kansas-Nebraska Act," "Election," and "Decision to Secede." This is an easy way for the students to remember the main causes of the Civil War, and they are able to remember the acronym when it comes to test time.
