The American Civil War
Using the links below, learn about why the United States was divided and fought state against state from 1861 until 1865. You and your team will create a timeline that lists at least six different key events (with a brief description of each) of the Civil War. Be sure to include the date and a picture if possible.
The sites below can help you discover more about our nation's "bloodiest" war. The first site was created by a fifth grade class in New York. It is an amazing site that teaches a lot about the Civil War. Use these sites to answer the questions on your handout. Use the Timeline to help you complete your own timeline project.
