Dilemma Discussions

Lessons bring students face to face with historical figures and the decisions that they faced in the 19th century.  How did an enslaved person make the decision to escape to freedom?  How did a female citizen decide to enter a field hospital to help?  These activities forge real and lasting emotional connections between student and subject and encourage them to apply lessons learned to the present.
