Transcript: Sophie Wargo Blue vs. Gray About the life of the war victims 1864 The Country Splits The North and the South In the quarrel between two sides, the American Civil War has begun. American Civil War Choose a side. Ever since the American Civil War broke out three years ago, the people of the country have been divided into two sides. One side of the war, the Confederate group, had different opinions on the way the Union was running the country. Whether people support the Union or the Confederacy is entirely up to them, but most supporters live in an appropriate residence. The Union has control over the north side of the country, where most Union supporters typically live, and the Confederates have control over the south. It is not hard to spot soldiers of either side of the war. Union soldiers are referred to as "bluebelly Yankees," or just "Yankees," because of their blue uniforms. Confederate soldiers, however, wear simple gray uniforms, and the two sides are easily distinguished. It does seem as if the Confederates have less power over the Union due to their lack of popularity and resources. These soldiers each fight to protect their own side and beliefs, but they can't both win. Whoever will win in the end gets to run the country the way they believed was right, so there is a lot at stake for not only the two sides, but for the entire country. Hannalee Reed The Reeds Fight the War There are currently four living Reeds, losing the father of their family to the war, and a baby carried by the mother on the way. Rosellen Sanders is a family friend of the Reeds, just like her mother, and girlfriend of Davey Reed. The Reed Family Hannalee Reed, a young girl from Georgia, must learn how to survive and cope with the American Civil War in her country. She comes from a family of Confederates, her brother being a Confederate soldier like their father before he died in an army hospital last winter. Hannalee must also deal with the people in her life; her mother, pregnant with her father's child; her little brother Jem, whom she has to look out for; her older brother Davey, the soldier fighting in the war, and Rosellen Sanders, her town's prettiest girl and Davey's current girlfriend, who is beginning to give up on him because he won't marry her. When part of the Union army comes to her town and takes all the millworkers, including her, Jem, and Rosellen, the three have to stick together to survive. However, after many of Hannalee's elaborate plans to keep them all together, they all get taken by different Northeners to work for them. Now Hannalee has to go on an adventure to get back to her home with those she loves and survive the war. Advice to Hannalee Reed When dealing with a problem, one often turns to another for advice. Hannalee Reed has many problems falling on her shoulders, and some advice doesn't seem like a bad thing for her. When I got taken away from my home and sold by the Union, I escaped my owners' home to run away and find Jem and Rosellen. I want to bring them home with me, but Rosellen doesn't want to come home. She wants to stay with her new owners in her new home, and I think she doesn't want to be with Davey anymore. I want Rosellen to come home, not only for us, but for her mother as well, but I don't know what to do to make her come home. - Hannalee Reed First of all, I think trying to get Jem and go back home is dangerous. If you get caught by the Union soldiers, they could send you to their jail or sell you to different owners. However, if you were to go back home, I don't think you should make Rosellen come with you. She may be happier where she is, and might feel more protected and as though her life has improved. You two might not see things the same way, but she should be entitled to her choices. - Sophie Wargo https://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/battle-of-gettysburg The Most Important Battle of the Civil War The Battle of Gettysburg One of the battles in the war was the Battle of Gettysburg, a significant event in history. During the American Civil War, there were many battles fought between the Union and Confederacy. The Battle of Gettysburg was a historical event during the Civil War, and called the most significant battle of the war. Gettysburg is located in Pennsylvania, where Union and Confederate troops clashed from July 1-July 3 in 1863. General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Union army, took his army into Pennsylvania after winning a battle in Northern Virginia. The Union was victorious in the Battle of Gettysburg, while the Confederates lost.
