Cause and Effect in History

This sequencing worksheet helps students understand how presidential actions lead to historical change. Learners choose one of three turning points-Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, Roosevelt’s New Deal, or Obama’s Affordable Care Act-and write a four-step cause-and-effect chain explaining how each decision influenced later events. The activity strengthens comprehension of historical causation and supports logical writing and reasoning.
