US History Document-Based Questions

This Document-Based Questions (DBQS) set provides students with an opportunity to analyze historical documents and synthesize information to answer questions related to specific topics. In this case, the DBQs focus on three key historical themes: the reaction to slavery, the impact of the railroad system, and the Industrial Revolution (with a focus on inventions and child labor, and the War of 1812). Students will use both the provided documents and their broader knowledge of social studies to construct short responses to each question. This packet includes an answer sheet.
