Right now we are studying the late 1800's, starting with the Underground Railroad, through the Civil War, the assassination of President Lincoln, up to the slaves being freed.
I LOVE Scholastic Books - and they have a "journey" throught the underground Railroad - that I wanted to share. If you sign up with them they will email you other "journeys".

At Thanksgiving time the kids got e mails from a child on the Mayflower and from an Indian child - things form their perspective!
We are going to end our study with a visit to Springfield, Illinois.
