Thank you so much for your purchase. I know that it will be a great addition to your Civil War classroom

resources. I can’t wait to hear your feedback! When I taught 5th grade, the kids were also so intrigued with anything involving the Civil War. It was such a complicated war… with many key figures. This packet should provide some great conversion, research opportunities, and project ideas for those key figures! Enjoy!
