Civil War Projects

You will be assigned one of the following battles: Shiloh, Chancellorsville, Cold Harbor, Gettysburg, or Chickamauga. You will need to the following:

1) Research descriptions and overview of the battle, its importance to the war, key figures from both sides, dates, reasons why the battle was fought and the outcome. You should also include the strategy of both sides.
2) You will also need to list 4 important world events during the time of the battle.
3) You will need information on casualties, food rations for each side, and the cost of the Civil War compared to other wars the United States fought (up through the Gulf War).
4) You'll need to list your sources in proper MLA format.
5) You'll need photos of your key figures and battlefield.
6) You'll need to compile and present all this information on a SEPARATE BLOG or a website that you create. Meaning you'll need to either create a new blog and call it, for example, COLD HARBOR, or create a website and do the same.

This will be due next week (probably Wednesday or Thursday - depending).
