Do you decide to support the Union or the Confederacy? Whatever decision you make will greatly change your life.

Task You are either a Union soldier, Confederate soldier, or a woman soldier during the Civil War. You want to keep in touch with your family to let them know how you are doing. Unfortunately, the year is 1863; cell phones have not been created yet, so you cannot text message them to relay the message. Instead, you must write your family a letter. In this letter, you will describe: The daily hardships that you face What it is like to be the person that you chose Use the resources provided to get to know the character that you choose… your final task will be to present your letter to the class.

Once you have picked your role, visit related websites to help write your letter. After you have answered the questions on your guided discovery sheet about these websites, you are ready to write your letter home. By reading this letter, your family should be able to understand the hardships you face and what your daily life is like.
