Learning the Civil War is easy and engaging
This iBook breaks the Civil War down into very straight-forward sections that each include engaging audio and visuals. The Civil War had a ton of complex events and the style of this book made them individually come to life while presenting a comprehensive view of the Civil War. I recommend that anybody teaching a Civil War unit check this one out!
