Synopsis

From the CORE KNOWLEDGE FOUNDATION, which brought you the popular “What Your ___ Grader Needs to Know” series. THE CIVIL WAR explores the causes and consequences of one of our nation’s greatest crises, as slavery divided states and citizens, leading to a four-year nightmare of bloodshed and bitterness, profound social changes, and still unresolved tensions. Topics include arguments over slavery and states’ rights; the election of Abraham Lincoln and Southern secession; Frederick Douglass and other abolitionists; the Dred Scott decision; Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin; and, the Emancipation Proclamation. Chapters explore important battles, new technologies (such as ironclad ships), major leaders (especially Lee, Grant, and President Lincoln), and the divisive struggles of the Reconstruction era. Paperback. 192 pages. ** Part of the CORE KNOWLEDGE HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY (CKHG) series in world and American history and geography, integrating topics in civics and the arts. CKHG books offer engagingly written text with many color illustrations, maps, vocabulary sidebars, and a glossary. Related materials (Teacher Guides and Timeline Cards) are also published by the Core Knowledge Foundation. In general, CKHG books are appropriate for young readers from the upper elementary grades through middle school.
