Civil War Postcards

On your blog create a postcard that shows the point of view of a person from the Civil War time period, showing five days in the person's life. This means you need to have five different pictures and descriptions.

You should also comment on at least one other students' blog.


Your choices are

1. African-American Soldier from the 54th Massachusetts' regiment

2. Union nurse on the field at Gettysburg

3. Northern woman left at home alone

4. Southern woman managing a plantation

5. Yankee soldier at Antietam

6. Northern prisoner-of-war at Andersonville

7. Southern soldier preparing for Pickett's last charge

8. A Southern plantation owner


(Only two students can pick each choice, so call dibs in the comment section of this blog.)

For extra credit, be the first to tell me in class what this cartoon is about.
