U.S. History: Mar. 11-15

This week we will continue our investigation of the break-out of the American Civil War after the election of Abraham Lincoln. We will discuss the leaders of the Union & Confederacy, as well as the major battles of the war. We will examine and discuss the major "turning points" of the war in favor of the North, even though the South was known to have had superior military leaders. We will investigate the effects of the war on the soldiers, slaves, and civilians as well.
