social studies learning

What I learnd In social studies is about the civil war .  The civil war is a battle between the north and the south.  The thing I didint  understand is how Lincon stoped slavery.  He is onley one person does he just tell the u.s Army to go fight and they do?  It is impotent to learn about the civil war because you can make better decisions when you grow up.  You can teach other people to.  The civil war helped end slavery .  Lincon hated slavery  he wanted to end slavery so bad.   The civil war is to help end slavery.

Hi T.K.,

I am really interested in how learning about the civil war can help you make better decisions. I totally agree with that! Can you explain it a little more for me, better decisions about what?

You asked how does one person just tell the army to go fight and they do. Do you know what job Lincoln had? And what part of his job was? The words below might give you a hint--

Section 2
Clause 1:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States

Does that help answer your question?

Hi T.K.

This made me think about what a sad time this was in our history. I would hope that we would learn to try to solve our problems in other ways than war.

I like the way you stuck with this post trying to figure things out. I like the way you ask questions you don't understand. Lani has given you some good hints. Talk to me in class more about this. If you could learn more about the civil war what would be the top item on your list of things to learn?

Hey!
This is a good piece. It made me think about what wars would actually look like or family’s who lost dads, moms or anything. I feel really bad for the people who were fighting in the wars.
I don't really know things about the civil wars. We never learned about it yet down here in Canada. But it seems interesting to learn a little bit about it.
Well keep up the awesome work!
