Abstract | This lesson focuses on the U.S. Civil War Battle of Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) at the beginning of July 1863. The lesson is based on the National Register of Historic Places registration file, "Gettysburg Battlefield Historic District," as well as several primary and secondary sources. It could be used with units on the U.S. Civil War or in geography or ethics courses. The lesson considers the actions of the Union and Confederate armies in the Battle of Gettysburg and the personal choices made by some of the participants. Student objectives and a list of materials are given in the lesson's first section, "About This Lesson." The lesson is divided into the following sections: (1) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (2) "Locating the Site: Maps" (subdivided into "Civil War Battles in Maryland and Virginia" and "Both Armies during the Battle"); (3) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (subdivided into "Three Days of Carnage at Gettysburg"; "Perspectives of the Participants"; and "The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863"); (4) "Visual Evidence: Images"; (5) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (subdivided into "Putting Yourself in the Shoes of a Civil War Soldier"; "Comparing Perspectives"; and "Persuasive Writing and Speaking"); and "Supplementary Resources."
