Answer 4

You have a lot of questions here.
My best advice to you is read a three volume
set written by Shelby Foote. These three
books take you from the pre-war right up to
the end. The first book even mentions the
first casulty of the war. A union soldier on the
little island off the Charleston coast drank some
liquid thinking it was water and it killed him.
A little bit of trivia. By the way, that little island
was where the first shot of the civil war was
fired.

Answer 5

Here's an interesting sidebar you might want to share with your teacher. When Lincoln "freed the slaves" during the war, he actually only freed the slaves in the secessionist states.

The slaves in the Union were still enslaved because he knew he would lose his political support if he did this. Funny how history overlooks this tidbit, isn't it?

Answer 6

The 'former' slaves were supposedly(but not given) 40 acres of land and a mule - I believe. There may have been a few exceptions. I do recall hearing that even those who got the 'land' had to sell it for the money because they needed it.

Answer 7
