  3. I hope you're feeling good.
  4. I hope your maintaining your positive attitudes and we're ready
  5. to be excited about finishing up the last activity and
  6. reading assignment today.
  7. Who today we are, um, gonna learn about some of
  8. the effects of the civil war.
  9. Uh, we're gonna learn a little bit about the men
  10. on the battlefield and even those at home.
  11. Men, women and Children all races and genders were affected
  12. tremendously by this war.
  13. It was a struggle for all people.
  14. They were all Americans, and they were all in it
  15. together, even though they had differences and different visions of
  16. how they saw this country being run.
  17. They were technically all Americans.
  18. So they were all in this war amongst themselves.
  19. Anyway, as a soldier, those guys, they dealt with their
  20. own set of problems, which is combat being the obvious
  21. one. Um, but you didn't see combat that often.
  22. A lot of people think of the Civil War.
  23. Is guns blazing?
  24. Cannons firing were shouting, uh, combat all the time.
  25. But that's not necessarily how it waas.
  26. Combat was fairly rare for each individual soldier.
  27. Um, but they did come with their own set of
  28. problems. So it was not just a combat.
  29. Other things such is marching from destination of destination in
  30. same pair of boots in the same pair of clothes.
  31. Carrying are your gear from place to place and setting
  32. up camp, um, nightly daily, then having lack of goods
  33. to be comfortable in the elements.
  34. Um, soldiers also don't dealt with loneliness.
  35. Um, you know, they miss their families.
  36. They Mr Friends, they missed, uh, they missed home on
  37. dhe. Then starvation was another one.
  38. Soldiers were not very well provided for when it came
  39. to food.
  40. They carry around a bag of flour, bag of beans
  41. or a little bag of coffee beans, things like that.
  42. And that's about it.
  43. They had some, uh, some food to eat to get
  44. them through, but it was very scarce.
  45. It was very little anyways on.
  46. So the separation from their families was true, and the
  47. struggles were real for each individual soldier.
  48. But the families back home they had to bring on
  49. they have their own struggles to they had to take
  50. on their own new roles.
  51. Ah, at the house.
  52. So women became heads of household.
  53. All the men were out fighting.
  54. They had to maintain the farms.
  55. They had to run the factories.
  56. They also had to raise two kids and do their
  57. daily jobs as well.
  58. They had to make the money so that they could
  59. put food on the table, and then they had to
  60. cook that food as well.
  61. So they were definitely no less, um, valued then the
  62. soldiers, because they were running their own wars at home
  63. trying to maintain, ah, household on at the same time,
  64. they were missing their husbands, their brothers, their fathers, their
  65. uncles and probably their sons our of age to be
  66. fighting out there on the battlefield.
  67. So everyone had a big struggle, and they were all
  68. affected by this war.
  69. Today's assignment.
  70. I'm gonna ask you guys to read about some of
  71. these effects of the horse, a short two pager, and
  72. then I want you to try and write a little
  73. letter, um, pretending to be either a soldier on the
  74. battlefield or a mother from home or just a daughter
  75. at home who's missing her father or a son at
  76. home who is wanting to go to the war and
  77. help, but they're too young to whatever.
  78. Eso use your imagination.
  79. Be creative here.
  80. Um, I've provided you an example of a letter from
  81. a union soldier that had crossed into enemy territory in
  82. the south.
  83. Read the example and then I want you to create
  84. your own.
  85. I hope everyone is excited to be finishing up with
  86. their history work on Thursday.
