"A Picture Versus a Thousand Words," Network News Exchange, Spring 1983, pp. 15-17. 14 Civil War History Mystery #1 On April 19, XXXX, Robert E. Lee was torn between two choices. President Lincoln had asked him to lead the Union army. However, at the same time, he learned that his home state of Virginia was seceding from the Union. Lee loved his country, but he also loved his home state. His family lived in Virginia— could he bear to fight against his own blood?!? 15 Civil War History Mystery #2 On December 20, XXXX, only days after Abraham Lincoln won the presidential election, South Carolina’s leaders spoke out. They were displeased with Lincoln’s views and announced that they felt that the United States was dissolving. With this statement, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union. 16 Civil War History Mystery #3 On January 1, XXXX, African American men were officially allowed to join the United States army for the first time. Although they were able to serve, they received lower wages and poorer quality equipment than their fellow servicemen. Throughout the Civil War, more than 38,000 African American soldiers died fighting for their beliefs. 17 Civil War History Mystery #4 In February of XXXX, the eight-man crew of the Confederate Hunley submarine attached a torpedo to the U.S.S. Housatonic, a Union warship, with the intent to blow it up. Upon the Hunley’s return to shore, it sank, never to be found again until 1995. The Hunley was raised in 2000 in order to be studied. It was the first submarine to ever sink an enemy vessel. It was constructed to take down the blockade of Southern ports. Most of the eight-man crew were actually not Confederate sailors. 18 Civil War History Mystery #5 On December 3, XXXX, 468 Confederate prisoners arrived by train to a newly established prison camp on Arsenal Island. The prisoners were captured at the Battle of Lookout Mountain in Tennessee and arrived in Rock Island for one of the worst winters on record. The prison camp was not completely finished, but continued to receive more and more prisoners. The camp had a total of 12,000 prisoners during the Civil War. Nineteen percent of the prisoners died each year. Most of these deaths were due to illnesses, such as small pox, and not war-related injuries. Today forty-nine members of the 108th Regiment U.S. Colored Troops, who served as Union prison guards, are buried on Arsenal Island. 19 Civil War History Mystery #6 On April 16, XXXX, slaves in the District of Columbia were officially freed. President Lincoln signed legislation to free over 3,000 slaves who were bound under the District of Columbia’s slave codes. As part of this legislation, slave owners were given money for each of their freed slaves. Slave trading had been banned in the District since 1850; however, slavery remained. Slave codes in the District of Columbia were considered to be much more relaxed than the rest of the South. 20 Civil War History Mystery #7 On January 31, XXXX, Congress approved the 13th amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This amendment finally put an end to the slavery in both the North and the South. Illinois was the first state to ratify this amendment on February 1—the very next day. Mississippi, on the other hand, never ratified the amendment. However, since only 2/3 approval was needed for the amendment to become law, the ratification was complete on December 6 of the same year. 21 Civil War History Mystery Answer Key Civil War #1—1861 Civil War #2—1860 Civil War #3—1863 Civil War #4—1864 Civil War #5—1863 Civil War #6—1862 Civil War #7—1865 22 Civil War Resources Chapter Books Dear Austin: Letters from the Underground Railroad by Elvira Woodruff Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt The Ghost Wore Gray by Bruce Coville Stealing South: A Story of the Underground Railroad by Katherine Ayres A House Divided: The Lives of Ulysses S.

Questions are written in an inquiry format, such as, “What were the similarities and differences between Union and Confederate soldiers?” This format allows for students to research the answer(s) to their questions. Students are required to have each of their questions approved by the teacher before beginning research. As students research, they complete a research grid. For each question, a minimum of three resources is needed to gather information. Students must use their social studies textbook as one of their resources. This research is then used to create a first draft inquiry report. Teachers approve the student’s research before they can begin to write their paper. Once the first draft is complete, students are allowed to edit with parents, teachers, and/or peers. The students’ research culminates in a final typed paper. The paper must consist of a minimum of eight paragraphs, including two paragraphs for each question, an introduction, and a conclusion. The final product must also contain a cover/title page and a bibliography. Students orally share their reports with the rest of the class. 25 CIVIL WAR POST ASSESSMENT NAME: ______ DATE: ______ 5 Paragraph Structure Content Connections 4 3 2 At least 3 paragraphs and uses correct indentation At least 3 2 paragraphs and 2 paragraphs and paragraphs and uses correct does not use correc does not use indentation indentation correct indentation 0-2 punctuation or capitalization mistakes 3-4 punctuation or 5-6 punctuation or 7-8 punctuation or capitalization capitalization capitalization mistakes mistakes mistakes All 12 terms used correctly 10-11 terms used 8-9 terms used 6-7 terms used correctly correctly correctly Half of the terms All terms are connected are connected in in order to retell the story order to retell the of the Civil War story of the Civil War 26 CIVIL WAR INQUIRY NAME: ______ DATE: ______ 5 4 0-1 punctuation mistakes 2 punctuation mistakes 3 punctuation mistakes 0-1 spelling or capitalization mistakes 2-3 spelling or capitalization mistakes 4-5 spelling or capitalization mistakes Grammar Cover and Bibliography 3 2 4 punctuation mistakes Report includes a cover and bibliography Clearly answered the inquiry questions chosen One inquiry question is not clearly answered Two inquiry questions are not clearly answered A clear introduction, 1 or the required conclusion, and six topic paragraphs is paragraphs are included unclear 2 of the required paragraphs are unclear 3 of the required paragraphs are unclear Research Responsibility All deadlines met One deadline missed 27 Two deadlines missed
