Description

WHO Were The Key Players In The Civil War? The president; generals; soldiers; spies; mothers; wives; children; doctors; nurses; brothers-facing brothers; and more! This book on "who" were the participants in the Civil War gives students a virtual chronological flood of not only the usual suspects of generals; presidents; and soldiers; but also the children; animals; mothers; spies; nurses; slaves; and others who were caught up in the events leading to war; during the war; and in its aftermath. Using either the actual dramatic words of participants; as well as invented dialogue; this fast-paced; free-flowing non-fiction graphic novel brings the war to vivid life for young readers. This book includes a combination of funky; radical; text-based non-fiction graphic novels awash in drama and commentary with speedy but thorough stories; all in first person; and often the words of an actual participant. This book is FUN TO READ. Civil War; fun-it can be done! Absolutely no "content warning" on these books; except BEWARE: You may not be able to put it down; kid! Click HERE to view four sample pages.
