Appomattox Court House Role Play Rubric.

I always thought about what went down in the Appomattox Court house when Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant and ended the U.S. Civil War...

History is full of smooth talkers who have gotten out of some pretty sticky situations whether they deserved to or not. I thought it would be fun to have students research key events in the US Civil War and do a historical role play argument in the Appomattox Court House. One student representing the South, one student representing the North. Based on the strength of the argument, the class decides whom surrenders to whom.
