Southern 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 are responsible for checking over your group’s work, and making certain that all members are accurate in their responses.

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 Braxton Bragg. There were usually two or three generals in each battle, so you may choose whomever you want, as long as that person is a SOUTHERN 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 Davis. Include all of the information above.
