Mission B: Events and Themes<\/a>
\nIn the second stage of the simulation, students are presented with a series of decision points based on key events that took place during the course of the war. For each one, both teams have to decide how their president would have reacted. Correct guesses lead to an increase in their armies’ strength; incorrect guesses lead to a decrease. Further movements of armies around the map are then permitted. At the end of the 9 decision points students will start to be forming a clear idea of the various reasons why the Union won and the Confederacy lost. Not only this, but they will be able to comment on whether political, economic or military factors were most important. The Teacher Slideshow Presentation, complete with the decision points, will be needed for this part of the activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
