Fight to The Finish

This week in honors history 10 class we learned about the battles during the civil war. To learn about these battles everyone in the class got to pick one of the 20 battles to choose from. Once we picked our battle we researched it and made a Google doc that had the battle name, date,location, theater and victor. With this Google doc we made QR codes and then hung our battles up around the school. We ran around the school gathering all the information for the 19 other battles. With all this information the next day in class we used padlet to display which theater dominated and who the victor mostly was. The essential questions this week were who was the ultimate victor in each of the theaters of war:East, West and Naval. The other question was what are some commonalities you can identify in the reasons for the results of battles.

 

The battles of the civil war were between the union and the confederates. The three theaters were the East, West and Naval. The Confederacy dominated in the East theater. The confederacy dominated in the East theater because The confederates has more soldiers and had stronger attacks. In the West theater the Union won. The Union won because they had better defense skills because they had better weapons than the Confederacy. In the Naval theater the union won again. The reason why the Union won was because they had better resources and they owned better weapons like engines to boats.

 

The East,West and Naval theaters share many commonalities. These commonalities are the reason why the results of the battles were what they were. Some of the commonalities were all three theaters, confederates and the union used weapons. Some may have been better than others but both the confederates and the union used them. Another commonality they share are both the Union and Confederacy won Around 10 out of the 20 battles that happened. Although overall the union won for the West and Naval the total amount of battles they each won was about even.
