Write a journal entry from the perspective of a soldier or civilian during the Civil War. Your journal should include:

• a historically accurate date and location (for example, July 4, 1863, near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania)
• One paragraph describing one of the key events for battles of the war so far
• One paragraph describing your experiences as a soldier or a civilian during that key event or battle and how it affected you.
Use details from your reading notes or the classroom activity, and include relevant dialogue and descriptions of specific actions.

PLS HELP!!! URGENT!!

Answer:

On the 8th we struck up the refrain of "Maryland, My Maryland!" and camped in an apple orchard. We went hungry, for six days not a morsel of bread or meat had gone in our stomachs - and our menu consisted of apple; and corn. We toasted, we burned, we stewed, we boiled, we roasted these two together, and singly, until there was not a man whose form had not caved in, and who had not a bad attack of diarrhea. Our under-clothes were foul and hanging in strips, our socks worn out, and half of the men were bare-footed, many were lame and were sent to the rear; others, of sterner stuff, hobbled along and managed to keep up, while gangs from every company went off in the surrounding country looking for food. . . Many became ill from exposure and starvation, and were left on the road. The ambulances were full, and the whole route was marked with a sick, lame, limping lot, that straggled to the farm- houses that lined the way, and who, in all cases, succored and cared for them. . .
