pieces of propaganda or other visuals
• Let’s review what is expected for this assignment
Background Information
North Carolina is in trouble! The economy has collapsed. We
tried to start a war with South Carolina to get more land and were
defeated. We are being forced to pay for the damages we caused
during the war and have no way of doing so. Our leadership is
weak and our system of government is failing. We need a spark!
We need a new leader that can get us out of this mess and return
our state to its rightful position as the best state in the country.
How can we accomplish this? Maybe a dictatorship is the
answer:
Decide on a Dictator
Each group (4) will elect one Dictator who will
delegate responsibility and help ALL members
complete their task in the group.
REMEMBER: Give the dictator a cool name like
“The Furher”or “Mighty Emperor”
