7th and 8th grade Quiz 10/29/2010

7th Grade: The 7th grade quiz will cover topics surrounding the Reconstruction Era. I suggest reviewing the situation facing the south after the Civil War.
  • How did the Southern system of agricultural change during Reconstruction?
  • What were the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments?
  • How did the Freedmen's Bureau help newly freed slaves and poor white Southerners?
  • Who was W.E.B. Du Bois, and how did he influence African Americans?
  • The Black Codes
  • Understand who the Scalawags, the Carpetbaggers, and the Ku Klux Klan were.
  • Andrew Johnson and the radical Republicans

8th Grade: The 8th grade quiz will cover topics from the Articles of Confederation to our United States Constitution. Study your notes. Make sure you understand the system of checks and balances, the three branches of government, and why we have separation of powers.

Good luck to all classes
