Help me give my students a more expansive Civil War book library. Teaching this history requires a larger variety of viewpoints and texts than my classroom currently holds.

My Project
An expanded Civil War Book set will enrich my classroom by providing more comprehensive and engaging resources for exploring one of the most transformative periods in American history. I will use these books in conjunction with printed primary sources to help students develop a greater understanding of the causes, events, and consequences of the Civil War and its role in shaping American society. Importantly, providing books instead of lecturing or relying on one narrative allows students’ to develop the ability to think critically about historical narratives, biases, and differing perspectives. An expansive book set allows students to compare accounts from different regions and gain a more complete understanding. Additionally, while this would support my history classroom, the heavy literary focus would further students' reading comprehension abilities.
