Thursday

Today we are going to continue Don't Know Much About History  but first we'll look at a Daily Bell Ringer and give you 15 minutes or so to outline the questions below. You also have an Edpuzzle that is due on Tuesday.

 

In detail outline the following:

 

Marbury v Madison

 

 

 

The Louisiana Purchase (particularly how much it was brought for, why France sold it, what it did for the U.S.):

 

 

 

The Embargo Act (what was it, why was it enacted)

 

 

 

What was the Battle of Tippecanoe?

 

 

 

What were the causes of the War of 1812?

 3. What did Dolley Madison stay in the White House for to try to save? 

4. What forces the British to retreat out of Washington?
