​STEP 2: The next step will be to create an outline to plan your DBQ essay, using the guide below.  Your essay should be supported by BOTH the documents (about 4-5) and outside knowledge. Use your "Union in Peril" notes and Chapter 15 in the textbook. This should be completed by: 

• 12/4 (Both A and B Day) submitted to TurnItIn by 8:45 a.m.
