A WAR One Union Perspective We're fighting for our Union, we're fighting for our trust, We're fighting for that happy land where sleeps our Father's dust It cannot be dissever'd, tho' it cost us bloody wars. We can never give up the land where float the Stripes and Stars. We do not want your cotton, we care not for your slaves, But rather than divide this land, we'll fill your southern graves. With Lincoln for our Chieftain, we'll wear our country's scars. We rally round that brave old flag that bears the Strips and Stars!  A PLANTATION, One Southern Perspective Secession is our watchword, Our rights we will demand; To defend our homes and firesides We pledge our hearts and hand. Jeff Davis is our President, With Stephen by our side; Brave Beauregard, our General, Will join in our ride. Our wagon is the very best, The running gear is good; Stuffed 'round the sides with cotton, And made of Southern wood. Carolina is the driver, With Georgia by her side, Virginia holds the flag up, While we all take a ride. A SLAVE, One Slave's Perspective We raise de wheat Dey gib us de corn We bake de bread Dey gib us de cruss We sif de meal Dey gib us de huss We peal de meat Dey gib us de skin And dat's de way Dey takes us in Songs from different perspectives during the Civil War era.

It shows a first- hand example of what slaves would have to look out for on a daily basis. I think it will help to show children in a very real way just how difficult it was for slaves to be free even after they had escaped to the north. (Lk) It has a lot of pictures and descriptions of different items used in the Civil War as well as places and even clothing. I think this will help to benefit a lesson because there isn’t a lot of text and so the students may be more eager to look through it because of all the pictures. It is a very informative book without looking too much like a textbook. (Lk)

A short video about Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address. It is brief but will be more enjoyable for kids to watch. (LK)
