Students,
Today we worked with primary sources to identify the motivations for soldiers during the civil war. We used the SOAPSTONE method to help us in our letter / journal reading and draw conclusion about these individuals who were often knowingly marching to their death.
If you were absent you will need to see me in class to get the packet to complete the assignment.
After we examined the letters we took a look at two popular songs during the Civil War (Battle hymn of the Republic for the North, and Dixie Land for the South). Here you got to do some independent analysis and compare these two songs. Trying to pick apart their importance to the different causes and motivations held by each side.
REMINDERS
