Learning Goals
The goal of the course is to provide an overview of the events of the Lincoln assassination and perspective on U.S. Civil War. We will use the James L. Swanson's youth popular history entitled, Chasing Lincoln's Killer, as a guidebook. It will not be required reading but will be recommended.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
The course outline will be based on: Swanson, James L. 2009. Chasing Lincoln's killer. New York: Scholastic Press. The course will deviate somewhat from the table of contents to present the material in four online meetings.
Assassination is by nature a violent subject, but I have chosen the youth version of James L. Swanson's book because the adult version is more detailed and graphic but covers the same material.
Supply List
Recommended reading: Swanson, James L. 2009. Chasing Lincoln's killer. New York: Scholastic Press All of the subjects presented can be researched at https://www.history.com/. It is a good resource for general knowledge. https://www.britannica.com/ is also a good source of general historical knowledge, but some parts of it require a subscription.
