The Civil War changed young people's lives. Many teenagers joined the army. About half of school-age children did not go to school. Some stayed home to help their families. Many schools closed. Some were too close to battles. Some schools and churches became hospitals. Most battles took place in the South. People there suffered the most changes. Places in the paths of the armies were destroyed. Many people moved away. They lost their homes and farms. There was not enough food or other supplies. Life was hard everywhere in the South. Why did children stop going to school during the war?
