Class Update: 1-7-13 and 1-8-13

Yesterday in class we took a quiz on memorizing part of the Gettysburg Address. I think this memorization was harder than the other two that we had to do! Lately we've been taking  a lot of notes on battles of the war and the General Lee's surrender to General Grant to end the war. I couldn't believe what happened when Sherman went on his "march to the sea". Everything in his path was completely destroyed. It's although Sherman and his men completely forgot that these people were innocent and that they were still Americans. I'm interested to find out how these town were rebuilt after the war.
