Snow Day

We're having another snowday and I totally forgot to blog yesterday so I'm doing it today. We talked more about the Mexican War and other stuff, and I just finished my event on Dipity. I had the Election of 1860. I think that the book Uncle Tom's Cabin wasn't a good idea because I think that it kind of helped start the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe made the line between North and South even bolder because it just stirred up more opinions and emotions of those who read the book. If she didn't write it, then maybe things would've cooled off, and the South wouldn't have been so opinionated about Abraham Lincoln, because they suspected that he had the mind set of a Northerner, and they threatened to break off from the Union if Lincoln won the election. I just think that Harriet Beecher Stowe didn't have to stir up all that drama.
