4º British: Review for the IGCSE (History of USA)

As you need a deeper study for preparing this topic for Friday’s exam, here there are some complementary links...

Obviously, you can start the review by the BBC-History web with the following article: “The American War of Independence: The Rebels and the Redcoats”.

But, talking about USA, maybe it is a better idea reading edsitement (web of the National Environment for the Humanities). In that link, you can find many lessons, activities and other resources about the following topics:

• Slavery and African Americans
• Causes of the Civil War
• Abrahan Lincoln and the course of the war
• Art and Literature of the Civil War
• Reconstruction

As you probably feel overwhelmed with so much information, I recommend you visit only the “Lessons” and, within them, the "Background" section. For example, Lesson 1: On the eve of war (North vs. South)

Finally, you can read the Declaration of Independence of the 13 colonies (full text).

Good luck! J
