If You Lived at the Time of the Civil War

"This book asks twenty-nine questions about the Civil War after a simplified introduction about it... Questions such as 'How did the war start?' to 'Did children continue to go to school in the South and North?', to 'Was it hard to get food in the North and South?' are briefly answered. Most answers are from the point of view of a child experiencing the war... Some discussion of important political and military figures is included, as well as a list of civil war historical sites that can be visited today." -- Children's Literature
