Basic+Concept

This is what I was thinking of doing. I will will teach on group of lessons for 7th or 8th graders on the strategies used during the Civil War. This would be the grand stategies, like the Confederates using defensive tactics and hold own land while the Union did a three way attack: take Richmond, Divide the South by taking the Mississippi, and blockading southern ports.

The Other lesson would be for high schoolers, sophmores, juniors, and seniors. It will be on the reasons for the war. Specifically, Slavery, Social and economic differences between the North and South, and States rights. It would be a more complex discussion.
