Curated by ACT

Digital History tells the story of children's lives during the Civil War through their own words. The eight sections are titled: Child Soldiers, Conditions in the Contraband Camps, The Southern Homefront, the Northern Homefront, Near the Battlefield, Family Reunions, Lincoln's Assassination, and The War's Legacy. After a brief introduction in each section, quotations from primary documents show how children lived and what they thought about the war and its effect on their lives.
