More Info

It's good to get a head start on this year's topic. Read the "Emancipation Proclamation" and "Civil War Medical Care, Battle Wounds, and Disease." I encourage you to write a multiple choice test on the reading.

helpful videos

here is a site for some videos that may be helpful for your civil war studies. videos 9-12 should be good, though judging from other Annenberg project clips, it may be a bit boring. Stay awake, and let's make it to state!
