This outstanding lesson on an often forgotten Georgian hero, the Duke of Cumberland, is designed to help students evaluate whether he deserves the label the ‘Butcher of Culloden.’ In the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden in 1746, he was seen as a war hero who had saved the Union and was called ‘Sweet William.’ However, his treatment of the defeated Jacobites called into question his reputation.
If you are looking for a fun and interactive card sort to run alongside your own resources, then you have found it. If you are looking for a more in depth lesson with supporting materials then you can purchase the card sort with a supporting PowerPoint from our TES shop.
When you purchase this lesson you will be able to download a single page Word Document, which contains two heading cards and sixteen information cards to be sorted so that students can evaluate whether the Duke of Cumberland deserves the title ‘Butcher of Culloden’ or the more generous ‘Sweet William.’

Theme: The Act of Union
