My reflection on what I wrote is that I think it was good
because there are Important leaders that we need
to learn about, and were they from the Union
or Confederate side.

important leaders

Dominique P.2

I been researching about Important leaders and learned about Confederate
armies,Union armies,general and presidents.My favorite is Abraham
Lincoln because he kept the country together.I feel that Mr. Lincoln
was right about thinking slavery was wrong.Also I think it was
wrong to,and I learned about where the Important leaders were
born and what where they from.

Importaint Leader

kaden C.2
We are learning about leaders who fought in the civil war. We need to find out if they are good (union) or bad (confederate).What battle they might have lead,if they are a general,and what made them important in the war.I like George H. T. . He was born in 1816 and died in1870.He was a union general. He attacked Hood's army at a place called Nashville.He had a tight defense in a Tennessee battlefield close to route.
