Civil War Possible Topics

Your first responsibility as a group is to explore the Civil War books and websites in class and decide which topic is of most interest to you. Only 1 group will be allowed to research each topic. If you need more information once you have chosen a topic, I will help you locate some extra resources.

Here are some topics that fifth graders in the past have chosen. You are not limited to this list and can choose any Civil War topic that is of interest to you.
