Northern General

Below are the tasks that you will have to complete for your role. Remember to only research information for the battle that your teacher has assigned you. Also, don’t forget that you need to be the one who is leading the group, taking charge, and helping all members finish the research and the assignment.

Your Task:
1. Decide who you are. This will vary depending on what battle you are doing. For example, if you are doing the Battle of Chattanooga you may choose to be General William Sherman. There were usually two or three generals in each battle, so you may choose whomever you want, as long as that person is a NORTHERN general.
2. Describe the battle. How many casualties did you have? Who won the battle? What caused this particular battle?
3. In your own words describe what responsibilities you had as a general. Also describe what you must have felt during the battle. You will need to read through the information on some of the sites in order to truly understand how the generals actually felt.

When you have finished researching the information, write a letter to President Lincoln. Include all of the information above.
