What did she mean? If necessary, explain to students that Harriet wanted to be free so badly that if she couldn t be she would rather be dead than be a slave. Would you feel that way about being free? 3. Briefly discuss Harriet s courage, which caused her to endanger her life by returning South many times to lead more people to freedom.

Discuss the Southern viewpoint that states had the right to do what they wanted without the federal government telling them what to do (states rights). The North believed that no state had a right to leave the union. Have students fill in this information on their houses in the appropriate places. We believe in states rights. We believe in keeping the country together. Set these aside. 3. Discuss with students the strengths and weaknesses of both sides. The North with 22,000,000 people had a larger base from which to draw soldiers. They had many more factories to produce guns, uniforms and military supplies. Their rail system was twice as long to move troops and supplies. In addition, most of the banks and money were in the North. The South had 9,000,000 people who were not slaves so they didn t have as many for soldiers. They were primarily farmers 2 nd Grade, A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand 2003 Colorado Summer Writing Institute 6
7 and had few factories for producing war materials. However the South had better military leaders. Their men were better at shooting guns and riding horses than men in the North, many of whom lived in cities and had done neither. Read pages 18 and 19 in If You Lived in the Time of the Civil War and discuss the terms Union, Confederacy, Yankees, Rebels, Civil War, War Between the States, Stars and Strips and Confederate Battle Flag. Tell them the president for the Union was Abraham Lincoln and for the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis. 4. Refer back to the houses that were set aside. Tell them that President Abraham Lincoln said, A house divided against itself cannot stand. Explain that he meant the country was like a house and it had to stay together or it couldn t last. But in spite of his desire, 11 states decided to secede from or separate from the U.S. and start their own country. Have students cut out their houses and then cut them down the middle. 5. Pass out a piece of construction paper to each child. Have them fold it in half (hamburger style) and draw a line down the middle. Glue one side of the house on either side of the paper. Pass out Appendix D. Have students cut out the words and pictures and glue them on the appropriate sides. Collect the papers for use in Lesson Five. 6.

This is a great time to tell about her bravery with stories like the bullet through the skirt and the race for the train. Emphasize her compassion and her bulldog determination to help the soldiers. Briefly touch on her introduction to the International Red Cross while in Europe, then cover her start up of the American Red Cross and some of the highlights such as the flood on the Ohio River.
