Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Beecher Preachers   Written by
Jean Fritz:

Students will read this book to learn of Harriet’s influence on the Civil War.  She was the daughter of a preacher and one of 11 children.  Her brothers were expected to become successful preachers, but the girls in this family were not permitted to speak publicly.  Harriet was outraged over slavery and decided to use her pen instead of her voice to write Uncle Tom’s Cabin, informing readers of the evils of slavery.  Students will be asked to critically analyze why they think the sons were encouraged to become preachers but the girls in the family weren’t permitted to even speak in public.  How did this expectation play out for Harriet?  Was she successful without using her voice?  What evidence can you show that supports your answer? (Goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 6)

Time For Kids: Clara Barton: Angel of the Battlefield (Time for Kids Biographies)   Written by Editors of TIME For Kids

Students will read this magazine to learn of Clara’s contribution to the Civil War.  She became known as “The Angel of the Battlefield” for risking her own life to save others on the front lines of the battlefields.  Clara was filled with love, concern, bravery, and compassion for others who were experiencing injuries, illness, and disaster in their lives.  She was compassionate that the US should approve the Geneva treaty for the sake of caring for soldiers wounded in battle, organized the American Red Cross, and dedicated the remainder of her life to its service.   Students will be asked to evaluate whether they believe Clara had an important role in the Civil War.  Did the men leading the war effort respect her?  Share evidence to support your response.  What characteristics did Clara possess that made her stand out as an “Angel on the Battlefield?” Did men in power intimidate her as she pursued her life’s goals?  Give evidence to support your response. (Goals 1,2,3,4,6)

The Civil War in Four Minutes: Women (video)

Students will watch this video to learn of the role of women during the Civil War.  They will learn how the Civil War opened the doors for women to serve in a variety of capacities for which they did not have the opportunity prior to the war. For example, professional nurses prior to the war were male, with women only serving as their family’s nurse within the home.  After the Civil War, women were able to be professional nurses in hospitals.  Some women desired to shoot a gun and fight with the men.  Many of these women cut off their hair in order to pass as a male so they could join the fighting ranks of the battles.  Students will be asked to compare and contrast men’s roles prior to and during the war to women’s roles prior to, during, and after the Civil War. They will be asked to evaluate the role of women during the Civil War using this resource and any other of their choosing. (Goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 6)
