Reign of Terror

The Committee of Public Safety's assumption of political power and rule between 1793 and 1794 marked what was arguably the most radical phase of the French Revolution. The Committee justified its excesses as necessary to protect against domestic and foreign counter-revolutionaries. In this lesson, students question the motives of the Committee through analyzing excerpts from the "Decree Against Profiteers" and the "Law of Suspects."​

Factory Life

How do you make sense of contrasting accounts of historical events? What makes one source more reliable than another? How does corroborating information across sources help confirm or discredit historical accounts? In this lesson, students engage in such questions as they evaluate and compare different types of primary source documents with different perspectives on working conditions in English textile factories at the beginning of the 19th century.

The Sepoy Rebellion

In May 1857, a group of Indian soldiers in the British East India Company’s army led a mutiny in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The mutiny soon escalated into an uprising of sepoys and Indian civilians throughout northern India. In this lesson, students explore a set of documents from both Indian and British perspectives on the uprising as they explore the question: What caused the Sepoy Rebellion?

Battle of Adwa

On March 1, 1896, a massive Ethiopian army routed Italian forces at the Battle of Adwa. The battle marked the largest military triumph of an African state over a European army in the 19th century and helped Ethiopia retain its independence during Europe’s “scramble for Africa.” In this lesson students read three different textbook accounts of the battle – two American and one Ethiopian – to investigate the question: How did Ethiopia defeat Italy at the Battle of Adwa?
