Quiz Tomorrow

  Tomorrow's Quiz is on the first "5 Straws" of this Unit.  They are:  Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850, The Fugitive Slave Act, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and The Kansas-Nebraska Act.
The Quiz is between 27-30 questions, depending on which one you get.  There is one question on the quiz that you are not allowed to omit though.

Choose of the "5 Straws" that we have studied in class that you think had the greatest negative  impact on the United States.  When you give your answer please be specific and use examples to support your opinion. 

Also,

Here is a survey that we are giving to 8th graders that I would like you to work on before Monday.  It should take you less than one minute to complete.
