  1. The Civil War VS NORTH SOUTH Rebels Yankees

  3. Why were there two different names for some of the battles? • Since most Northerners were used to cities and factories, they were not used to the natural beauty the South landscape offered. This is why the Northern armies named battles after the landscape. • On the other hand, the South knew the land and so named battles after the nearest town or train junction. • Not all battles have two different names

  11. A Rainy Day in Camp Winslow Homer Which side is this? When is this scene taking place? Before or after a battle? “Most of the time the soldiers lived in camps. Camp life had its pleasant moments of songs, stories, letters from home, and baseball games. Often, however, a soldier’s life was dull – a seemingly unchanging routine of drills, bad food, marches, and rain.” (15.1 pg. 479)
