This will be a fast-paced ONE semester course with a strong writing component. We generally like to think of medieval times as chivalry, knighthood, and Robin Hood. You may even do some drawing. This class has no text. Students will do individual research as directed.
Militaries worldwide study the American Civil War because of the strategy and tactics.
What made the war so horrific AND fascination was that commanders on both sides knew each other personally. Most of them had attended the same military academy, many of them at the same time. Considered to be one of America's bloodiest wars with over one million casualties and 650,000 dead, it still produced some unbelievable things. Your research will help determine that. In this course we will study key leaders and battles as well as the human face of family, community, and suffering.
