The following collection was created to provide teachers with primary source materials focused on the African American experience during the Civil War. The African American perspective and involvement in the Civil War is visible both as soldiers and citizens. This set provides evidence of the impact that the Civil War had on dividing the North and the South and the American people.
The set is separated into two distinct sub-areas; social and economic factors. The set on social factors impacting African Americans during the Civil War features images of fugitive slaves desperately trying to reach the North, an accused African American spy woman, and photographs displaying the barbaric treatment of fallen soldiers on the battlefield. The economic set contains a map, musical arrangement and lyrics, and an image of a slave auction house. Students and educators can use either or both sets to tap into the essential question being raised: How did social and economic factors create a division between the North and the South?
Rounding off the set are a number of supplemental resources including desired results and objectives and classroom activities and questions.
