This is a 2-page Civil War Study Guide to help students study for a test after they have learned about the American Civil War. Students explain the importance of people (ex. Abraham Lincoln), events (Attack on Fort Sumter), & documents (Emancipation Proclamation), define vocabulary words (abolitionist), find dates for important events, describe causes of the civil war, and describe strengths and weaknesses of each side.

I have been teaching grades 7 and 8 Language Arts and Social Studies at De Anza Academy of Technology & the Arts in Ventura, California since 2001. I have also briefly taught high school ESL (grades 9-12), and I spent one month teaching English in Moscow, Russia.
