Card sort: What were Lincoln’s aims for Reconstruction?

This resource features a card sort for students to explore interpretations of Lincoln's motivation in the civil war and reconstruction. Two historians' interpretations are included in the resource, which gives scope for extension tasks, alongside some probing questions for students to consider following the card sort.

This resource was originally planned for AQA's component 1K: The Making of a Superpower: USA, 1865-1920, but it might also be useful for other courses which cover similar content.
