From Antebellum to Reconstruction

One objective for your learning this year is that you understand the difference between the Antebellum, Civil War, and Reconstruction time periods. To simplify this process I would like for you to draw three separate pictures of plantation houses. Each house should represent the look they would have had during the time period being depicted. Remember our movie, Gone with the Wind, what did the plantation house look like at the Bar-B-Que? What did it look like when Scarlet returned after Sherman burned Atlanta? What did it look like after she had her daughter? Lastly, write a paragraph for each picture describing how it differed from the others
