When you think about teaching the subject of the American Civil War, what comes to mind? Topics such as Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, slavery, Generals Grant and Lee are probably what most would describe. What about those topics which are not generally covered or perhaps only sparingly when teaching about the Civil War? Topics such as the daily life of a soldier, famous woman and civilian life of the era, music of the period and it’s role to both soldiers and civilians, and medicine of the period often receive little or no discussion when teachers talk about the Civil War yet these topics are just as important as the Battle of Gettysburg or President Lincoln.
