Civil War Scrapbook WebQuest

Since President Lincoln announced in April 1861 that the Union had to be preserved, people in the North and South have rallied to fight for their beliefs and regions.
The North felt an overwhelming need to show their patriotism. These people volunteered and enlisted, hoping they could keep freedom alive and America intact.
The South's patriotic urgings however, had a different approach. They were fighting to defend their native soil and their way of life.
Because of his love for his country, President Lincoln has given you a very important job. It is your responsibility to record information in a scrapbook about life during these trying times. He hopes that your knowledge in the scrapbook will help future generations to understand how different life was during this tragic period of our history.
