  • What makes a hero?
  • What is freedom?
  • What can we learn and apply to our lives from studying slavery, Civil War, and Civil Rights?
  • What are Civil rights? Human rights?
  • What can one person do when they see a great wrong?
  • How do we balance the right of the individual vs. the rights of the group?
  • How can a group protest against the government or an institution in a way that is correct?
  • Is war ever correct?
