American Civil War

  Question 1 – Blue or the Gray? Imagine that you lived during the time of the American Civil War and had the same socio/economic/racial/gender position you have right now. Would you support the Union or the Confederacy? Be sure to explain why you chose the side that you do. Remember, not all Southerners supported the Confederacy just as all Northerners did not support the Union. Make sure to look at ALL the factors, and not just geography, when you are answering this question.
