First read through "Who They were", "Weapons of War", "How they died", "5 deadliest Battles" and "Paying for the War", finally click on "Civil War Topics" and read about some of the battles listed there.
1. Summarize three of the topics you have read about.
After you have summarized, please answer these thought questions as well:
1. 1. What do you think are some of the reasons the legacy of the Civil War is a divisive issue?
2. What is the best way to commemorate controversial events in American History such as the Civil War?
3. How can people who see the Civil War’s legacy differently listen and learn from each other? (ie people who live in the North and remember the Civil War, and how they would remember it differently than people that were in the South as part of the Confederacy).
4. If you were in charge of teaching the Civil War in your school, how would you do it?

ReplyDeleteThe North and South had different opinions about slavery. The north fought against it but the south had farm lands and made slaves do all the work. The north helped slaves escape run away like Harriet Tubman. She ran away from Maryland and then became one of the most famous Underground Railroad leaders and guided over 300 slaves to freedom. Harriet Beecher was also famous for writing the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. It was a story about slavery being wrong, and it hit people’s hearts. Now the south and west are really falling apart and arming themselves. And at court people were fist fighting, one person even pointed a gun at someone but never fired. In the race to Kansas pro-slavery attacked an anti-slavery town killing one person. .
1 there is no more slavery in the U.S. and we are free.
ReplyDelete2 by make sure it dose not happen unless it comes to that.
3 the north won and the south lost so the south might not like the north as much.
but the north is happy that we won and fells good.
4 I would try to piece out the good and bad points of both of them.
During the Civil War, 620,000 people died that was 2% of the population. If today we had a war and lost 2% of our population it would mean 6,140,000 people died which is almost all of Washington State. (7 million people live in Washington.). The average age for a soldier during the civil war was 18-29 years old. 3 million Americans fought in the civil war. 180,000 African American fought for the Union. One technological breakthrough during the civil war was the telegraph. The telegraph gave incredible pros as well as cons. one pro were that people in the white house could talk to generals around the United States. One con is that if the Confederates telegraph got stolen The Union could read the telegrams and sometimes they could get battle plans from the telegram. I think that the Civil War is so divisive because when the Union won the war the Confederate stayed in the Union and two enemies stayed together as a country. I think the best way to commemorate an event like the Civil War is to talk about it from both angles so that neither party will get mad. People in the North after the Civil War thought that the south was a horrible place that allowed slavery and killed Union people to keep their horrible way of life. People in the south thought that the north was being unjust by taking away part of their culture and making it illegal. I would teach the Civil War by talking more about how the war got started than anything else. The whole point of learning about history is to stop the same mistake from happening again. If we don’t talk about how the Civil War got started another one could break out.

ReplyDeleteHow They Died: The highest amounts of deaths from amputations were from amputating from the hip joints down. 83% of the people that had this happen to them died from it. The amount goes down from there. Knee=57%. Thigh=54%. Ankle=25%. Upper arm: 23%. Wrist=10%. Elbow Joint=7%. Foot/Toes=5%. Hand/fingers=2.9%. There were many deaths for both races. 12.5% of the white union soldiers died. But more than 20% of the black Union soldiers died in the war. There were also many deaths caused by disease. Around 66.7% of all soldiers die of disease. Diarrhea is the most fatal- around 34,000 of the soldiers who got it died. Next deadly is Typhoid Fever, in which 29,000 died from who got it. After that is lung inflammation, to which 20,000 people were claimed. Behind that is dysentery, to which 10,000 victims were succumbed. Almost last were childhood diseases. Around 7,000 people died from these diseases. Very last was Pink eye, in which one soldier died from.
The Battle of Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle in the Civil War. It took place in Adams country, Pennsylvania, and more than 51,000 men were killed. The Generals leading this attack were Robert E. Lee for the Confederates and George G. Meadows for the Union. Around 4,500 Confederates were killed, 12,800 wounded and 5,250 were missing. On the Union side, 3,155 were killed, 14,530 people were killed, and 5,361 people were missing.
The Minie Ball was one inch long and was the most commonly used small arms weapon of the war. The bullets loaded quickly and fired accurately, and they were cheap and easy to mass produce. The only bad thing about this gun was that the speed of the bullet was slow (compared to today’s .22 caliber rifle).
Elliott Asaln
ReplyDeleteWho they were: union and confederate were 80% literate, they were mostly farmers, average height was 5,8 and 145 pounds 400+ were woman fighting.
5 deadliest battles: 1. Gettysburg 51,000 deaths.
2. Chickamaunga 34,600 deaths
3. Spotsylvania court house 30,000 deaths
4. chancelorville 30,000 deaths
5. the wilderness 28,800 deaths
Weapons: Field gun, light good at mid-range good for defense and offense.
Musket: 10 lb. 14 bullets per min. lever action
1, A. that white people where arguing over African American slaves.
2. Don’t make fun of it, If people are African American don’t insultythem.
3. We would look down on the people in the south because they did that.
The south people probably are ashamed of it because they had slaves.
4. tell people the truth what really did happen, sternly tell people not to insult other people if they are another race and if they don’t feel comfortable about the subject then they don’t have to the class.
Caleb
ReplyDeletewho they were- they were men from all over the union territory who had different beliefs but all believed that slavery was wrong.
Weapons- The union was able to produce more weapons and supplies than the confederate because the had more factories.
Deaths-many people died from infected wounds and diseases.
1.because some people liked slavery and some thought it was wrong.
2.don't joke about it.
3.each side can help the other side to understand what was wrong.
4.first I would start talking about slavery then I would talk about tension growing between the two groups then I would talk about the war then about racism.
Anthony Hobkirk
ReplyDeleteThe napoleon field gun was a deadly cannon, 1,227 pounds of bronze Shoots at a whopping 1,440 feet per second and shoots 1,619 yards. The cannon is 66 inches long or 5 and a half feet long.The minie ball a 58 caliber and 57 caliber. 470 million bullets were purchased by the union alone.The spencer repeating rifle is a 56 rimfire rifle and a seven shot manually operated weapon. The rifle weighs 10 pounds and is 47-37 inches long. 100,000 were purchased by the union.
The soldiers who were they? 180,000 of the soldiers were black, 25% of the union soldiers were immigrants. 400 or more of the soldiers were women and 10,000 were native Americans. The.The average pay for a black soldier was 7$ a month while pay for a white soldier was 13$ per month. The food for union soldiers was 22 oz of bread and 12 oz of pork but the confederate gave their soldiers 12 oz of bacon and 20 oz of cornmeal. The approximate weight of ammo for soldiers was 7 lbs and they either had a musket of a rifle along with a bayonet or a scabbard. The union had 80% infantry 14% calvary and 6% artillery against the confederate who had 75 % infantry and 20% artillery.
to hold a parade for the men and women who died in the civil war and honor them.
because the union didn't want slaves but the confederate did so the union would remember it different from the south
i would get a little map and get little people and show them what happened in the civil war
Morgan
ReplyDeleteWho they were: 3,000,000 Americans fought in the Civil war. 180,000 African-Americans fought in the war. 25% of the Union soldiers were immigrants or second generation. More than 400 women disguised themselves to serve in the war. The Union’s main rations were pork or salted beef, bread or hardtack, vegetables, dried fruit and potatoes. The Confederates main rations were bacon or salted beef, cornmeal or bread, molasses, peas and rice. Both the Union and Confederate groups carried 30-40 pounds of ammo, muskets, bayonets, haversacks, canteens and knapsacks.
How they died: The odds of surviving a wound were 7:1. When someone got hit in the hip, and got it amputated, the death rate was 83%. That was the most common death rate of all of the amputations on the body. 9% of the people died in prison camps. 66.7% of the soldiers died of a disease. The five diseases were diarrhea, Typhoid fever, lung inflammation, dysentery and childhood diseases.
The 5 Deadliest Battles: One of the deadliest battles was the battle of the Spotsylvania Courthouse. The Confederate General was Robert E. Lee, and the Union General was Ulysses S. Grant. There were 12,000 Confederate casualties and 18,339 casualties. Another one of the deadliest battles was the Battle of Chickamauga. The Union general was Major General William Rosecrans and the Confederate general was General Braxton Bragg. There were 16,179 Union casualties and 18,454 Confederate casualties. A deadly battle was the Battle of Chancellorsville. The Union general was Major General Joseph Hooker, and the Confederate general was General Robert E. Lee. There were 17,200 Union casualties and 12,700 Confederate casualties. The fourth of the deadliest battles was Battle of the Wilderness. The Confederate general was General Robert E. Lee and the Union General was General Ulysses S. Grant. There were 18,400 Union casualties, and 11,400 Confederate casualties. The fifth and final deadliest battle was the Battle of Gettysburg. The Union general was Major General George G. Meade, and the Confederate general was General Robert E. Lee. The Union had 23,000 casualties, and the Confederates had 28,000.
1. The slavery turned the North against the South, and because of this, the North had factories and the South had plantations with slaves. And, if the North and South split apart for good, the USA wouldn’t be one of the most powerful countries in the world anymore.
2. To hold a parade, have a memorial service for the people who died in the war, and have reading marathons on who can read the most civil war books and also absorb the information.
Melanie
ReplyDeleteHow they died- The way most men died was they were put into prison camps. Nine percent in all of the battles died because of the prison camps. Amputations were also one of the worst. The deadliest amputation was the hip joint. Another sickness that killed a lot of people was diarrhea. That sickness killed 34,000.
West point warriors- A week after graduating some people decided to go fight for the union.George Mcellen was the youngest to be in the battle. He was fifteen years old. 95 west pointers died in the end.
Battle of Chancellorsville- More of the confederate army ended up getting killed or wounded in this battle. More of the union went missing. 1,600 men died on the confederate and union side. 9,100 men were wounded on the confederate side and on the union side 9,670 were wounded. The confederates only had 2,000 missing but the union had 5,910 missing.
1. Everyone had their different opinions on the civil war. Some people thought that having slaves was ok and some people didn’t. Because of that there's still some tension in between people because of their different beliefs and views on the war.
2. ?
3. People can see it differently because if they look back on it they could go and research it and pick a side based on the facts they've read. So people could listen and learn from each other by actually taking the time to hear both sides of the story.
4. First of all I wouldn’t want to offend anyone. Some people have different views on the civil war and thats ok. Second of all I would tell them the pure facts about what happened in

ReplyDeleteWHO WERE THEY: a lot of people fought for the union: 180000 African Americans, 15% were immigrants, 400+ were woman in disguise, and 10000+ native Americans fought for both sides.

Isabelle Gonzales
ReplyDeleteIn the section who they were it talks about what most of them were. Most of them were farmers. From the ages 18-29 could join the army, their height was 5foot 8inches. They also weighed 145lb. They are an army group of course, and we are a Union and we fought against the confederate group. In the section how did they die talks about how most of them died. Most of them died from Amputation. The amount of men that died in the Civil War was 620,000 men in the war and that is 2% of the population today. Most of them also died from infection from other men in the war. In the section 5 deadliest battles talks about what 5 battles had the worst amount of blood shed. One of them is The Battle in Chickamauga which was in September 18-20, 1863. The amount of men dead on our side was 1,657 in Chickamauga. In The Battle Chancellorsville which was April 30-May 6, 1863. The amount of men killed on our side was 1,600 in Chancellorsville. In The Battle Spotsylvania which was in May 8-21, 1864. The amount of men killed on our side was 2,725 in Spotsylvania. In The Wilderness which was in May 5-7, 1864. The amount of men on our side that were killed was 2,246 in The Wilderness. And the last one was The Battle of Gettysburg which was in July 1-3, 1863. The amount of men that were killed was 3,155 in The Battle of Gettysburg.
1. I think it is because of how there were some slave states and some that were Free states. I also think it was because if the conflict between the North and the South.
2. Well you can remember all those men who risked their lives so we could be free from all the bad people.
3. To tell others that something’s that they believe can be effected by someone else. Another way to listen and learn from each other and tell them what you think and then they will listen to what you think and to be ok with what others believe.
4. I would start with telling them about how the Civil War began and then Segway into talking about all the wars that happened during it. Then after that I would talk about the men that risked their lives for us. And to finish I would talk about how the Civil War ended.
Liam Jensen
ReplyDelete...Wow. And to think they did all this in only 30 minutes.
Liam Jensen
ReplyDeleteHow They Died: every 1 in 4 solders from both sides lost their lives. 66.7% of the 1 in 4 died of illness. Around 34,000 of the 66.7 of the 1 in 4 people died, of all things, diarrhea. Death from amputation was also common.
Weapons Of War: the Minie Ball was a bullet used in the war. It was 1 in. long and the most common used ammunition for small arms weapons. They were slow but easy to mass produce. other weapons included the Napoleon Field Gun and the Spencer Repeating Rifle.
Paying for the War: the entire war cost about $6.19 billion, $146 billion in todays standards. In 1863, the Union was spending more than $2.5 million each day for the war ($43 million today).
1. Because both sides had a certain viewpoint that made it that slavery was right or wrong. Some viewpoints still prevail today.
2. Don't joke about it and speak about it in a non-opinional way.
3. Sometimes, you become so biased that you can only belive one way. Other times, people never want to talk about it. The answer to this question varies so greatly from person to person that it would be impossible to answer. But one way for people like them to listen and learn from each other is to simpily not talk about subjects like the Civil War. There would be no bias then.
4. I would pretend that I was sick and hire a sub. I don't have any experience in the field of education. I'm sorry. But I would also be afraid that I would say something wrong. To me, it is impossible to make any statement that would not offend some other party or another. Trust me on this one.

ReplyDeleteThought Questions
#1-4
1. One reason is that it was divisive was the North and the South’s beliefs. The North believed that slavery was wrong and that the south had no reason to have them. Why couldn’t they work themselves? After all, that what the north did. They didn’t need slaves because they had farms and simple houses instead of factories and plantations. The South, on the other hand, said that they needed slaves because they were too rich to get their hands dirty. That’s why they had slaves. They had them to do all the dirty work like harvesting crops and making cotton in factories. The south thought this was a normal way of life. They didn’t even realize that the slaves were… humans. They treated them “worse than the family dogs”.
2. To have a reenactment of the battles in the war in the park nearest to you, and if you have the power to, gather all the Civil War veterans in your state and have an honorary feast for them and have them tell some stories from the war. Or you could have an honorary day in school where all of the subjects revolve around fun reenactments of the war, war history lessons and so on.
3. Each side would give their perspectives of the war, and why they felt like they did or did not want or need slaves. The North would say that they thought slaves were not right because 1 they had no need for them because they were poorer than the south and 2 they didn’t have factories or anything for the slaves (if they had any) to work in. The South on the other hand, had a “great need for slaves because they had factories and plantations”. They would think that it was perfectly normal to have slaves and treat them like dogs because the confederates considered the slaves like they were nothing, just a something programmed to obey their every command. Also, they shouldn’t start the Civil War all over again because they are arguing!
4. I would have them watch fun, educational videos that explained the jest of the war and why the war started, and then I would have them go online and play some fun trivia/history games (that I had invented) that would help them to retain the information that I had given them better.

I also might have them watch an informative video about a debate about the war (Northerners vs. Southerners) and then have them reenact the video in their own words.
3 They should talk to each other about what opinions they had and why they had them. They could talk about their perspectives of the war, why or why not they had slaves. The North would say, " Slaves are wrong. It is not right to own another person. As the Declaration of Independence said, 'all men are created equal'. Then, the south would say, "We owned slaves because they were helpful and earned money! We feed them, and give them a place to stay, and they work for us. Because of their work, they can harvest our crops, so that we can make a profit!
ReplyDelete4. First, I would discuss events that took place before the war, like the tension rising between the north and south and how new states were created and divided between the north and south. Then, I would teach them about the battles, generals, soldiers, and politics during the war. I would have them act out a skit, do a lot of interactive activities, and have them watch videos, do work sheets, and have debates.Finally, I would discuss the conclusion of the war and the events that happened after the war to conclude the unit.
Gracelyn! <3
ReplyDeleteHow they died. :(
In all of the battles combined 20,000 died because of the amputations. The main cause of the the deaths was when they were shot in the hip joint which was 83% of the death rate. 56,00 died in prison camps. And 34,000 died because of diarrhea. 12% of the white Union soldiers died and 22% of the black Union died.
West Point Warriors.
In 1861, 45 of the graduates enrolled just weeks after their graduation. 895 were west point graduates. And 95 were killed in the war.west point graduates faced off in 55 of 60 of the major battles in the civil war.
The Bloodest Battle.
Chickamauga was the bloodest battle of more than 110 battles fought.In the confederate army there was 2,312 killed and For the Union 1,657 were killed and 9,576 were wounded. 1,233 miles the 20,000 union replacement troops had to travel.
Question 1.
So some didnt like slavery and some people liked it and they were arguing over them.
Question 2.
Dont make fun of it or joke about it.
Question 3.
The south probably regretted about how they had slaves and the north can be proud that they stood up for what was right and did something about it. Then they can learn whats right and whats wrong.
Question 4.
I would probably first talk about slavery and then talk about how it was wrong and tell the truth about what did happen. And then if anybody is feeling uncomfortable then they can step out of the classroom when we are talking about it.
Maliah Miller
ReplyDelete1. Who they were- They came from many different places and believed many different things, but they all had more stuff in common than you would accept. Three million Americans fought in the civil war. 25% of the union soldiers were immigrants or second-generation Americans.
One of the deadliest battles- The battle of Gettysburg was one of the deadliest battles! it lasted for 3 days, the confederates lost 6,500 men in less than 1 hour.
Paying for the war- the total cost was $6.19 billion/ that would be $146 billion today. In 1863, the union was spending $2.5 million a day to pay for the war. that is $43 million a day in today's money.
1. It is a divisive issue because the north were against slavery and the south was with slavery so they were about to split the U.S.A. in half into two countries.
2. The best way that i think is to have a day of remembrance/ have a couple minutes of silence to remember what happened in the war and what people did.
3. the south felt bad about having slaves and the north was proud that they stood up for what was right and did something about it. so they can learn what is right and what is wrong
4. I would discuss it all together as a class after we had read what happened.
Jamie Mason
ReplyDeleteWho they were: 180,000 African Americans fighting for the union.
25% of the union soldiers were immigrants or second generation Americans
400+ women disguised their identities and secretly served.
10,000+ Indians fought on both the union and confederate sides.
3,000,000 Americans fought in the civil war
How they died: the most fatal gunshot death was to the hip, 83% died.
The knee was in close second and thigh was 3% less than the knee. The death rate for the ankle and upper arm were 25% and 23%. The wrist death rate was 10% elbow joint followed at 7% and foot and toe was 5%. Hand and finger had the lowest death rat with a death rate of 2.9%.
The five deadliest battles: Gettysburg in July of 1863 with over 51,000 casualties. The battle went from July first to July third. The wilderness was the second deadliest battle, Chancellorsville was the third deadliest, Spotsylvania court house was fourth and the fifth deadliest battle was Chickamauga
Sara Twedt
ReplyDelete1. How They Died talks about how many soldiers died, where they got amputated, and what sicknesses were the most deadly and how many soldiers died from them.
Who They Were talks about what types of soldiers were in the war and the averages of ages, height, and weight.
West Point Warriors talks about how many soldiers served in the civil war, how many graduates there were, important soldiers and generals, and the number of west pioneers killed in the war.
1. 1. Because the North won the civil war against the South and the South were angered because they NEEDED their slaves to do their farm work. They think that people took sides with the North rather than the South.
2. Quiz yourself about it every day, study it every once and a while, teach your family members about it, visit civil war Museums.
3. They could talk about it, exchange thoughts, share stories, show pictures, or have a deep conversation.
4. I would explain to the students about what really happened, and if they didn’t feel comfortable, that they could leave the room. Explain with more details then the text books express, or even show some youtube videos of what happened (if the students were in a younger grade, I probably wouldn’t show them the youtube video) .
Anita Shuller
ReplyDelete“Who the fighters were”. Nearly 180,000 African Americans, 25% of the union soldiers, 400+ women who disguised their identities and secretly served the war, and 10,00+ Native Americans who fought in the war but on both sides. About 80% of the soldiers were literate, although most of them were farmers, with the average age of 18-29 years old...and the height of 5’8” and weighing average weight of 145 lbs.
“Weapons of the war”. The Napoleon field gun was lightweight and easy to maneuver, safe, reliable and good at closer range at offensive and defensive uses. The velocity of this gun was 1,440 feet/second, the length was 66 inches, the range 1,619 yards, and the weight of this gun was 1,227 lbs. There were a few more...but I am going to talk to you about on only one more, and that is the Minie Ball. This gun was slow-speed, and it was approximately with the length of: 1 inch long. It often flew to about 200-500 yards. It also weighed about 1- 1.5lbs each.
“How They Died”. Usually soldiers died from illness. About 34,000 people died of diarrhea. 66.7 soldiers died from mostly sickness and disease.
1.Maybe because someone had a special gun or some property and then other people will be jealous about it.
2.Talk briefly about a battle or two a day, and have other people summarize what you have said to partners.
3. Maybe because they are different stories on either side and each tells an interesting and important story.
4. I would start by telling why the war broke out, how many people were involved, and tell all the little details about the war, the people who were fighting in the war, and how it started/ended, then I would describe all the battles.
garrett
ReplyDelete1. the war made people have disagreements, so now there are people still against slavery today.
2. to make it a remembered day. like 4th of July.
3. people from the south would be happy that the slavery had ended but the southerners would be bitter and lose jobs or money because they lost all there slaves that did there work.
4. if i was a teacher i would take the students to the civil war reenactment at the park because photo memory is how i learn best.
John
ReplyDelete1. A. The minie ball was a type of bullet that both sides used and they were easy to mass produce and they were mostly used in small arms weapons and they caused 90% of all deaths.
B. The most case of diseases caught were 130,000,000 cases of diarrhea which caused 30,000 deaths.
C. The total cost of the war was 6.19 billion$ or 149,000 billion$ today, the union spent 4.09 billion$ or 96.5 billion$ and the confederate spent 2.10 billion$ or 49.5 billion$. And the union was estimated spending 2.5 million$ a day on the war that's 43 million a day.
1.1 because both sides had views and there was no possible way to settle the issue so it went to war
2.Say that it was a part of our history and its our job to make sure that it doesn't happen again and don't joke about it.
3.Have both sides say what they think about slavery and help the South find a way to settle the slave issue.
4.I would tell the class that slavery was wrong and the South should have found a way for other cheap labor and that this is a free country and we should not rule over others because of their race.
Brianna
ReplyDelete1. How they died:
Many of the deaths were from infection, because the doctors did not have the proper tools.
2.the bloodiest battle:
Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle. More than 51,000 men died.
3. Paying for the war:
In all the war cost 6.19 billion dollars. 4.09 billion for the union and 2.10 billion for the confederate.
1.1. The north and the south had very different beliefs. north thought that slavery was not ok and south did. there different beliefs caused tension.
2. The north will remember the war as freeing the slaves and doing something good while the south will remember it as losing their economy and freeing their property.
3. If i had to teach about the civil war i would make it very important. if we educate everyone then the chance of it happening again will be unlikely.

ReplyDelete1. How they died, and the sicknesses that were occurring.
1.1. The north won and the south was angry because they needed slaves for their town and farms.
2. Go to museums and historical places.
3. Share thoughts, look at pics, or research it.
4. I would do fun thinks with them, and do interactive things.

ReplyDeletethe weapons used in the war were canons and muscats two very deadly weapons.
the most conman deaths in the where the hip and the leg in war.
the deadliest were mostly won by the unions and most of them had thousands killed.

ReplyDeleteOn the weapons page it had trains telegraphing devices and guns. I read about the napoleon field gun. It could shoot up to 1619 yards and had 1440 FPS. 1600 were in the war. And the most death in the war was diarrhea. Then there was the battle of Gettysburg, it was the bloodiest battle ever. The confederacy lost over 28000 men and the union lost 23000 men.

ReplyDeleteWho they were: Around one hundred and eighty thousand African Americans served in the war, that’s twenty five percent of the entire union army. As it is an African American didn’t even count as one person so that’s more than you might think. There was even four hundred plus women serving in the war in secret. (Since women weren’t allowed to fight.) Even with both sides’ troops, around ten thousand Native Americans fought for the north or south. About eighty percent of the soldiers in the war were illiterate, even though most of the troops were farmers and had an average height of five foot eight, and weighed one hundred and forty five pounds.
Weapons: The Napoleon Field gun was a light weight easy maneuverable cannon. It was best at close through mid-range; it was designed more for defensive uses than offensive. The velocity of these cannons was one thousand four hundred and forty feet per second; the length of the cannon barrel was sixty six inches long. The range it could demolish a target at was one thousand six hundred and nineteen yards without having to arc the shot. Some of the weapons in this war weren’t even guns or cannons. Like the telegraph, it used Morse code to send important messages to allies without having to use a horse messenger. This was extremely useful to send reports to each other to warn the union about incoming attacks etc. The train was another important “weapon”. It could send supplies to stations that had troops that were hurt or hungry. One of the most deadly things in this war was the Minne ball; it was the ammunition for the Springfield fifty eight caliber or the Enfield fifty seven caliber. They started to advance in weapon technology. For instance the union started to make carbines; a carbine is a light weight less powerful but more accurate rifle. But the Minne ball had five hundred grains of gunpowder which is around one and a half ounces! This is more gunpowder than a round should ever have, with this new power it could launch the round five hundred yards. The specially designed bullet had ridges in it to rip flesh apart. That’s why this war is the goriest, it also helped the distance. This ammo was one inch long, that’s not very special, compared to what we have today. The average round today is one tenth of an inch, since the bullet is released from the shell and get’s launched out from the gunpowder when the hammer hits the primer.
How they died: Most of the deaths that happened were from illnesses and infection. The biggest sickness that men died from was diarrhea, which is extremely disgusting. The second biggest was fevers, and the kill death ratio from the bullets would depend on where it hit. If it hit some-ones wrist would have to be amputated almost immediately so that there wouldn’t be infection.
1. Let’s say a man was in the military and he had a different privilege than his neighbor, the neighbor would say “it’s not fair!” but if he wanted that privilege than enter the army himself.
2. Every once in a while talk about it and make sure that the generations to come will be safe to make sure that something like this would never happen again.
3. That make sure it’s something that they agree on that’s to them and yourself.

ReplyDeleteHow they died: Over 9% of all deaths in the civil War were from being in prison camps. 56,000 men died in prison camps. Lots of the deaths in the Civil War were also from unsanitary tools doctors would use on soldiers for amputation. The tools were unsanitary because they had touched so many other men. So this caused a number of men to die from disease and infection. 34,000 men died from a common disease called diarrhea.
Weapons of war: 90% of all casualties were from the Minie ball. This was the most commonly used small arms weapon of the war. Another weapon they used was the spencer-repeating rifle. This rifle was easier and less expensive to manufacture than other rifles.
5 deadliest battles: the 5 deadliest battles were Chickamauga, September 18-20 1863, 34,600 casualties, Chancellorsville, April 30 May 6 1863, 30,000 casualties, The Wilderness, May 5-7 1864, 29,800 casualties, Spotsylvania Court House, may 8-21 1864, 30,000 casualties, Gettysburg, July 1-3 1863, 51,000 casualties.
1. There was conflict between the North and the South because the South thought they needed slaves, and the North disagreed. The North didn’t desire slaves because they had factories and farms and things that didn’t need a lot of people to help with. The South thought they couldn’t live without slaves. They needed them to work out in the fields and pick cotton. The South had a lot of land and farms, which they needed more people working on the land. This created conflict.
2. An important way to remember the Civil War is to go to a civil war museum, as well as to try to think of it more often. It is important to be thankful to God for the men who gave their lives so there would be no more slaves.
3. People who have different opinions about the Civil War can listen to each other. They can put the other side that they disagree with in their shoes so they know how the other side feels. These are important things to do.
4. If I were the teacher I would want to teach the things in the Civil War that didn’t go well so that we can learn from the mistakes we made in history so we don’t do them again. Or I would take my class to a museum for a visual way for them to understand the Civil War better.
many people had fatal deaths. 83% of the people died of getting shot in the hip with surgeons trying to search through there body's cutting out skin to find the bullet and have them keep fighting. some getting shot in the limbs and having to cut that limb off kids and and grown men. some weapons they had were rifles and canons a Spencer repeating rifle having a spiral barrel spinning hitting body's and tearing them apart limb from limb, costing about $40 or $25. and the canons the napoleon field canon weighing about 1227lb, some being made out of bronze or iron, shooting 1619 yards, ammunition weighing about 12.3lb. someone that graduated last in there class is named a goat.
ReplyDelete1.1slavery having northern wanting slaves and southern fighting to free the slaves and make it so there is no one controlling other people, southern wanted to free slaves so that they could live there own life and not be controlled, northern wanted slaves being super lazy and creating tension between them causing them to fight.
1.2 thank our soldiers how have fought in the war.
1.3 north is happy with no slavery and having people free as the north might be mad still thinking that slaves should still be slaves like the k.k.k thinking that the black people do not have rights to live freely and trying to kill them.
1.4 it teaches us what not to do and i would teach it peace by peace and chapter by chapter.
1. A. Most people in the civil war where farmers. B. the soldiers were in the age from 18-29 years old. C. on the union’s side fought 180,000 African Americans.
ReplyDelete2. Because all the people wanted different things and where willing to fight for it arguing and making more and more tension between many different ideas.
3. To ask people what they think of this historical event and take thought to what they say and ask yourself questions.
4. The south might think it was wrong for the north to take slavery away. The north might not be aware that there is still tension between the north and the south.
5. I think I would teach it like you do except with a little more mystery.
