The students will analyze the election of 1860 by looking at both campaign posters and photographs of the candidates. The students will use NARA worksheets to analyze both forms of primary sources. The will use a venn diagram to compare the photos of the candidate to their campaign poster. They will then use a SEA workshhet to determine what the platform of the candidate is from their campaign poster. They will then compare and contrast the different platforms. By studying campaign posters, students will learn the issues in the election of 1860. By understanding the issues, they will gain a better knowledge of the reasons for the Civil War. campaign posters []://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/i?pp/PPALL:@field(NUMBER+@band(cph+3a04958))Lincoln-and-Hannibal-Hamlin-campaign [] [](NUMBER+@band(cph+3a04958)) [] - photos Presidential candidates
