During the summer of 2011, I spent 30 hours in a Civil War workshop hosted by the National Park Service and wrote a detailed integrated studies lesson plan about Civil War artifacts. I will link to that lesson plan and many others as soon as these are posted on the Missouri Civil War Sesquicentennial website.
Who's Who During The Civil War - Biographies/Portraits In The Public Domain. I've included these pages for teachers who need to print out short, accurate biographies and famous speeches for students to read. The reading level is approximately 5th to 8th grade. The biographies are in the public domain. The clip art is cleaned and redrawn here at the blog. Enjoy and print as many as you like: Thomas Hart Benton * John Brown * John Charles Fremont * Nathaniel Lyon * The Hypocrisy of American Slavery by Frederick Douglass *
