American History - Week 6 Assignments

American History - Week 6 Assignments

You should be reading Narrative of the Life of David Crockett.  If you are having trouble obtaining the book, you may read another biography about him.  A "juvenile" book would be acceptable.

Please work on the memory verse every week and make notes in your binders regarding how the verse applies to the history we are studying.  We will discuss Monday.

I have assigned very few questions since I am late in posting them.  (I've been on vacation with my parents from California.)

Please answer the following questions:

Questions on George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation:

1. In the Thanksgiving Proclamation, what did Washington say it was a duty to do?
2.  For what did he want Americans to give thanks?
3.  What did he want Americans to ask God for?

Questions on the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions

1.  What assurances do the resolutions give?
2.  What do the resolutions say about the Alien and Sedition Acts?
3.  What does the Virginia Resolution encourage the other states to do?
4.  What does the Kentucky Resolution say is the rightful remedy to unconstitutional laws?

We will hopefully have a little entertainment next week.  I will bring School House Rock on DVD next week.  If you don't know what it is, ask your parents.
