Over 600,000 Americans lost their lives in the Civil War, with
the Northern troops suffering higher losses. The North believed
the sacrifice was worth it: The slaves were freed and the Union
was preserved. The people of the South, on the other hand,
began almost immediately to glorify the "lost cause." Their
generals became mythic heroes, and they looked wistfully back
at the antebellum period. They almost regretted surrendering.
Historian Shelby Foote said,"Any understanding of this nation
has to be based . . . on an understanding of the Civil War. . . .
The Civil War defined us as what we are, and it opened us to
being what we became, good and bad things. It is very
necessary if you're going to understand the American character
in the 20th century to learn about this enormous catastrophe of
the mid-19th century. It was the crossroads of our being."
Burns, K. & Burns, R. (Writers). (1990). Episode 1: The cause
(1861). In K. Burns (Producer), The Civil War. Arlington, VA:
Public Broadcasting Service.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you answer the
following questions:
What do you think Foote meant in the passage quoted above?
How does the Civil War define the United States?
If the Southern generals like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall
Jackson were so brilliant, and if the South lost fewer men than
the North, why did the North win?
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
Create a 3- to 5-slide presentation, using Microsoft®
PowerPoint® or another multimedia tool with speaker notes, to
provide a visual tour of one major battlefields of the Civil War.
Include photographs from the University Library, quotes,
numbers of dead and wounded, and the significance of the
battle.
Cite all of your sources consistent with APA guidelines.
