What was life like for children during the civil war?

Well ,it depends on what your status was. If you were a slave, it was pretty bad, if you were from the North it depended on how high in society your parents were. In the South, things were generally kind of rough for everybody. Also, just about everybody knew someone who was in the war, and it was especially difficult for the people who had relatives/friends on both sides of the war.

The British Govt decided to move children from big cities to the countryside.  This was done quite early on in the war, during the 'Phony War' period.  Some children had a terrible time, treated like servants etc.  Others had the time of their lives, many from very deprived areas, such as the East End of London, had decent food for the first time.

You can write about the Children's March that took place. Basically, all the African-American students, and even some white students walked out of school, met at this church & in waves of 50 walked out while the police kept sending them to jail. The jails were so full. There is so much information on this topic & even a video called the Children's March, I think. Hope this was good enough for you.

These are very common subjects. You may consider doing research or checking class notes. For lack of that,\nthere was a big burst of industry after the civil war. Things became more advanced. More people moved to the United States and of course, emancipation of slaves had a great effect on the diversity of the population. Maybe these facts can help you to understand what sort of development you're looking for?\n\nSorry I couldn't be more helpful!

Many of the upper class Northerners abhored it, particularly the Religious ones.  They viewed it as being something too common, something that the ignorant southerners did.  Many of the lower classes felt the same way as many of them were either former slaves or friends of former slaves.  The exception to this being of course the northerners who lost jobs to the free blacks who were up there.  The south's opinions varied wildly from the norths. Upper class southerners relied on slaves in order to keep their plantations going.  Without slaves their agricultural society would fail.  The middle classes also relied some on slaves but would typically only have one or two to help with the fields and none in the house.  THe lower classes typically did not own slaves and some were for it and some against it.\n\nTo me what is facinating is the views of it in the boarderlands, like Kentucky.  Kentucky did not succeed from the union but was allowed to keep it's slaves.  This proves that the war was not just about equality for the blacks in the views of the Northern law makers but more about control.

I'm from West Virginia and I'm not sure what you mean. What time span are you talking about? The kids worked around the homes/farms back in the 60's and they still do. Other then doing odd jobs...I haven't heard of anything. As for when the kids got older the coalmines were the place to work at & still are in my areas.

Greetings,\n\nThere are no pictures of the South leaving, because they didn't go anywhere.\n\nThe southern states that formed the confederacy remained where they were, and their inhabitants, for the most part, remained where they were as well.  There was no mass migration, rather an expuslsion of everyone loyal to the Union and a seizure of everything formally belonging to the Union.\n\nThere aren't many photographs of the early part of the Civil War because photography was still in it's infancy.  There are many lithographs of the time though.  Lithographs are an artists interpretation rather than a photo.\n\n-matt

This is what I found on that subject:\n\nThe Puritans lived in villages that consisted of four city blocks. Within these villages, relatives were placed together.  The Puritan families consisted of husband, wife and children.  The Puritan family was considered the basic unit of society in which the mother and the father had specific tasks.  The husband was in charge of his wife and he had all of the authority within the house.  He was to provide needs of the household, love and protect his family and teach his children about life which revolved around God.  The Puritans family life consisted largely of farming.  Both the men and women contributed to this way of life by planting and weeding from day to day.  Even though the majority of men were ministers, their professional trade also consisted of a variety of other tasks.  The females in the family were weavers, candle makers.  The women also tended to the garden, helped in the fields, and cut wood. In addition, the Puritan women bought metal, books, and cloth from barters for the family necessities.  Since God was the most important part in the Puritans life, prayer was a major part of their daily lives.  The Puritan families meditated and prayed before sleep at night, upon rising in the morning, on Saturdays, and at services.  They also found it necessary to record their spiritual experience in diaries.  Through their diaries, the Puritans lived their daily lives; around God and his plan.

It dates back to slavery times.  Life was so hard and the only escape was to die and go to heaven.  After emancipation, life remained difficult for the poor, ex-slaves.  Many were sharecroppers and lived in poverty.  And when the economy turned down, such as the Great Depression, it is usually the blacks who suffered the most.  Heaven remained the only real hope for many of them.  It was a coping strategy which held many families together, and helped them deal with the gross injustices they experienced.

The US civil war was about states' rights and how the federal government trampled all over them.  The slavery issue was added by the Union to keep the British out of the war because they sided with the South.

Sounds like homework... \nProbably should do some of you own thinking here... but here are a few ideas to get started with...\n(a) What sort of state were the former Confiderate states in? Had they used their manpower and economic resources to better economies or to fight the war?  What was their infrastructure like? Were there roads, towns, etc. left after Sherman's March to the Sea?  \n(b) What was the South's economic system like? With slaves freed, how was the economy (which required lots of manual labor on large plantations) going to function?  How were the white and black citizens in the south going to live together / work together after one class of people were literally property?\n\n(2) You might find starting information on Johnson's reconstruction plans here:\n(This is wikipedia, so you need better sources, but it's a start)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction

The main one I can think of is industrialization. Following the Civil War, we witnessed the birth of corporate America and the making of Getty and Rockefeller. Fortunes were made in Oil and Steel.

I don't know any good ones specifically but Wikkipedia would be good. Some slaves were allowed to go to church long as there was a sheriff outside the window, making sure the pastor didn't talk abuot freedom or something. Hope this helps! Good luck on your paper.
