Civil+War+Culture+Research

You will research 3 different elements of Civil War culture. You will research 1 song, 1 poltical cartoon, and 1 piece of literature (poem, essay, short story,etc.) You will analyze each of the three by writing a summary of what each element displays. You will then create your own unique song, poltical cartoon, or piece of literature that is similar to the one that you have researched.
 * Task**

1. Using the internet, find 1 song with lyrics, 1 politcal cartoon, and 1 piece of literature. 2. Print a copy of each (try to copy and paste so that less paper is used) 3. On a separate sheet of paper, __write a 1/2 page summary__ explaining the meaning behind each of the three elements. -What messages are being displayed? -What is the author, illustrator, or composer trying to show the public? -How does each element affect society of the Civil War era? -Which side would the author, illustrator, or composer support, North or South? -What is symbolic of each cultural element? 4. Once you have completed the prior tasks, you will create your own unique song, political cartoon, or piece of literature. Choose to create only one of those. Your rendition should pertain to the topic of the Civil War only!!! DO NOT create something that does not relate to the Civil War!!!!!!!!!
