Mrs. Rodriguez says... another movie?!

CNN Article: What 'Lincoln' The Movie Missed...

I'm glad to see that PBS is producing a film (airing Tuesday!) that shows the enduring efforts of the abolitionists to the cause of ending slavery.  I'm a HUGE Lincoln fan and liked how the movie showed his skill in negotiating the perils of Congress, but was disappointed that other abolitionists weren't shown (as Lincoln himself had to be convinced abolition was a good idea!)

I know you have buckets of "free time" ; ) -- but this PBS movie would be a worthwhile review of an important time period for you APUSHers!

Mrs. Rodriguez says... I'm thinking of an era...

Two eras, actually. The Revolution. The Age of Jackson.

I wonder why...?

Mrs. Rodriguez says... Does anyone check the blog this early?

Remember that essay we studied yesterday? Yeah... It's on the test!

So is a question about how well Reconstruction secured the rights of freedmen...
