Choosing a Topic
You will be completing an in-depth study of the Civil War era, focusing on one person who played a significant role in the War. You will use resources available to you on the internet and in the Library to gather your information, then analyze that information to complete the project. In the end, you will present your project to the class.
To begin, you will each need to choose a person from the list below to research. There is a very brief description of the person to help you decide whom you might like to learn more about. In order to do this, I would like each person to choose your top three choices from the list below. Click here to access a Google Doc where you can type in your three choices.
