My name is Sallie Ann. I was made in Gettysburg PA, and I'm named after the mascot of the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry from the Civil War. My job is to travel around the U.S. looking for Civil War battlefields or museums and schools learning about the Civil War. Along the way, I hope to teach kids more about the Civil War while also helping them to learn about using technology. I'll start out in Gettysburg, PA ,and learn about the battle that took place there. My visit to you will last about one week, but before I leave, I hope that you will put something from the battlefield, museum or your school in my backpack so I can keep it as a memento of my visit.

Timeline from National Geographic - Civil War to Civil Rights.

"Mr. Wimmer's Spring 2013 Advanced Placement United States History class was commissioned to create a quilt representing the contributors and causes of the Civil War. After studying the Antebellum Period, the class chose to represent the causes of the Civil War as various shapes and colors to artfully visualize the factors leading to war. Every shape on the quilt has a meaning and was consciously placed. "

The world came to understand the Civil War through the eyes of battlefield artists. Living alongside the troops, combat illustrators risked death, injury, and disease to convey the blow-by-blow of battle with pencil and pen, charcoal, and crayon. Their work, sketched in the direst of circumstances, shows terrible violence but also moments of surprising grace.
