The question that needs to be answered for the worksheet is: What was the root cause of the Civil War?
1. Read/Review the eLearn sources from the Module that relate to the question then start on the first section of the Source Evaluation Worksheet. You need to read all the eLearn sources associated with your question, but you only need to analyze two on the worksheet. 2. Perform your own research and find at least TWO sources that will be useful in answering the question. Then complete the second section of the Source Evaluation Worksheet to understand the substance and validity of the sources your found.For primary sources, teachinghistory.org has a great list of digitized primary source collections across the US. The Library of Congress collections are also excellent. You may not use crowd-edited websites (Wikipedia, Answers.com, etc.)The sources you evaluate (and ultimately use in your essay) need to be of good quality, relevant to your topic, and contribute new ideas and information that you would not find in the Elearn source or textbook. The relevance, depth, and quality of your sources are part of your grade. You are required to evaluate (and use in your essay) at least one scholarly journal or book Question clarification: I know the question suggests a single answer, but that is not a requirement. There can be more than one cause of the Civil War. The idea of phrasing it as a “root cause” is to get you to think critically about cause and effect- think about the origins and the deeper issues that led to war. Using your ASPIRE topics can be useful here (EX: there were political, social, and economic causes that led to the Civil War).
