About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 4-6-Designed for students new to the subject, these titles describe the political and social background of the Civil War. In the process, military strategies and key persons are discussed. A time line runs along the bottom of all of the books, listing not only events of the Civil War but also major events in the world at large. Each title concludes with a "Need to Know" section that reinforces the book's themes by listing important terms, personalities, and strategies, including information about life on the home front. In addition, a "Test Yourself" page encourages reader ownership of the book's content by posing study questions, such as "How did General McClellan gain an advantage at Sharpsburg?" and "What Amendment to the U.S. Constitution finally ended slavery?" Each title is profusely and colorfully illustrated with photographs, reproductions, and ephemera. Each image corroborates the accompanying text. These books are first-rate introductions.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
