Margaret E. Wagner, The American Civil War in 365 Days (Abrams: New York, n.d.)
July 1, 1863 was the day the Battle of Gettysburg began. It lasted three days. It had the highest number of casualties of any Civil War battle, numbering over 50,000 dead. General Robert E. Lee of the Confederacy lost the battle and dashed Confederate hopes that the war could be won by invading the North.
PART TWO: 1,000 WORDS
CHOOSE A OR B FOR YOUR ONE THOUSAND WORD ESSAY.
A. Compare and contrast the resources and evidence base for two of the required readings for the course:
1) Philip Paludan’s Victims: A True Story of the Civil War
2) Jim Down’s Sick From Freedom: African-American Illness and Suffering During the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Be very specific in your analysis and use evidence from both books, with footnotes which conform to Chicago Manual of Style. This is not a contest between these two works, but demonstrates your ability to draw on the required reading and make assessments of secondary sources.

A. The impact of the Civil War on soldiers and civilians, politicians and statesmen has been examined in detail. How and in what way can we document and explore the changes brought for slave and free as well as black and white? The issue of status and race were dramatically transformed during the period 1860-1877. Please discuss and document these changes as reflected in the readings, lectures and/or films required for the course.
