(4 min.) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Students will be given a KWL chart to write down what they already know and want to know about the Civil War. (5 min.) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Hand out the printed journal excerpts and have the students take turns reading them. This will be followed by class discussion on the causes of the Civil War and the effects it had on the nation. (40 min.) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Students will create their flow charts on Inspiration to map out the causes of the Civil War and its impact on the nation. They will use this as a study guide later on. (21 min.) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Students will finish the last column on their KWL chart to demonstrate what they have learned and then respond to the lesson and their knowledge of the content in their free writes. (10 min.)


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Classroom Arrangement: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be seated at desks facing the front of the classroom. There will be a sizeable division between the desks in the very center of the room so I can walk down the middle of the rows of desks to check on students while they’re doing their work.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will understand that the Civil War had a devastating effect on the Southern states. Students will understand major eras, major enduring themes, and historic influences in the history of Maine, the United States, and various regions of the world. It is important for students to learn this so they know the kind of damage caused to the Southern states during the war. This will also help explain some of the cultural differences that still remain between the Northern and Southern United States. Students will read first-hand accounts of people who lived during the Civil War to get an idea of what daily life was like for those who experienced it.

 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Content Notes __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Robert E. Lee: A hero of the Confederacy, General Robert E. Lee was General Ulysses S. Grant’s counterpart as the General-in-Chief of the Confederate Army. Renowned even today for his military prowess, Lee is remembered as one of the greatest generals in history. Though he easily defeated Union troops early on in the war, he was defeated at the Battle of Gettysburg. It was then that the tide had turned in favor of the Union Army.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">“March to the Sea”: Often cited as one of the most brutal examples of Southern destruction in the Civil War, General William T. Sherman took 60,000 Union troops from Atlanta to Savannah, carving a path of destruction 285 miles long and 30 miles wide through the state of Georgia. Taking whatever they could carry and burning the rest, the Union troops devastated troops and civilians alike. Using this brutal tactic, Sherman was waging “total war” against the South, meaning he was not only destroying his enemies, but the ability of his enemies to make war.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">William T. Sherman: Renowned for his supremacy as a field commander, General William Tecumseh Sherman devastated the South in late 1864 and early 1865. It was arguably his employment of “total war” that caused the Confederacy to eventually surrender. Total war means not only destroying your opponent, but destroying your opponent’s ability to wage war. In this case, it was General Sherman’s destruction of farms, railroads, bridges, and any sort of factory that could have been used to further the Confederate war effort. Most of this was done during Sherman’s invasion of Atlanta, Georgia. After ruthlessly clearing a path of destruction through Georgia to Savannah, Sherman turned north towards the Carolinas, aiding General Ulysses S. Grant’s advance towards the South. After the war, he assumed General Grant’s position as General-in-Chief of the U.S. Army.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ulysses S. Grant: The counterpart to General Robert E. Lee, General Ulysses S. Grant was renowned as one of the greatest Union generals of the war. So much so that President Lincoln made him General-in-Chief of the Union Army. It was through his leadership that the Union Army would ultimately defeat the Confederacy. He would personally receive General Lee’s formal surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. After the war, he would be elected president of the United States in 1868 and be re-elected in 1872.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Joshua Chamberlain: Born in Brewer, Maine and an English professor at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain would become a hero to the Union Army, and the state of Maine at the Battle of Gettysburg. As the commanding officer of the 20th Maine Regiment, he prevented the Confederate troops from breaking through the Union line. Nearly exhausted of ammunition, he ordered his men to fix bayonets and charge at the Confederate troops to push them back. Miraculously, his plan worked, and the Battle of Gettysburg was won. He would later be promoted to Brevet Major General and would preside over General Lee’s surrender in 1865.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Appomattox Courthouse: This was the site of General Lee’s formal surrender to General Grant on April 9, 1865, almost exactly 4 years after the attack on Fort Sumter.
