In this portfolio assignment, you have chosen an event from the Civil War or pre-war era, have taken notes on this event, and now will take on a persona from the event. For example, you could choose to portray a Union soldier at Gettysburg, a plantation owner's wife during Sherman's March to the Sea, or a slave hearing about the Emancipation Proclamation. You will create a two-page narrative that demonstrates the important facts about the event through the eyes of your chosen person.
How would you like us to help you with this assignment?
Yes, I'd be glad to help, but be specific about what you need or want, please.
July 1863 - Gettysburg - Lee's army is defeated - Vicksburg falls - the Mississippi is controlled by the Union
You have to choose an event ^^^^^ from the Civil War, or an event prior to the Civil War. Assuming that you have, indeed, taken notes or read information about that event, you now choose a character - and the examples you have been given are excellent pointers - and write a two-page narrative about the event from your character's perspective.
