Program:	The Civil War as a Constitutional Crisis
	American Civil War Center At Historic Tredegar
Description:	The American experiment in Democracy was neither flawless nor painless. Slavery, westward expansion, the balance of power between state and federal governments-all of these issues provoked profound questions of constitutionality and morality throughout the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Students will discover the Civil War as a culmination of a series of constitutional crisis. Students will examine the founding of the Republic, westward expansion, slavery and the causes of the Civil War. Through critical thinking and observation, students will be able to discuss the causes of the Civil War as rooted in the Republic’s early debates over the nature and reach of the government and constitution. Students will use primary documents and role playing to understand how the seemingly abstract issues of law and constitution affected those on all sides.
