Civil War assignments – Due Monday October 13th
1. Bar graph showing number of battles that occurred in each state
- Graph must be on graph paper
- Must include the key on your graph.
- Once you have plotted the numbers of battles, you must color each bar according to type of state:
_________ = Union
_________ = Confederate
_________ = Border state (MO, KY, WV, MD)
_________ = Territories (Idaho, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and North Dakota)
2. Using the Union soldiers per state information, plot the following on the map:
_________ = Less than 3,000 troops
_________ = 3,000 – 17,000 troops
_________ = 20,000 - 50,000 troops
Orange = 55,000 – 88,000 troops
_________ = 90,000 – 110,000 troops
_________ = 145,000 – 200,000 troops
_________ = 258,000 – 450,000 troops
- To get the troop numbers for each state, you will need to use the numbers from the “Aggregate Furnished” column.
- You must include this map key above the map.
- You will not need to use the “Colored Troops” information for this activity.
- For Georgia and Virginia which did not have totals, you can assume they are both less than 3,000 troops.
- For “Indian Nations”, you may color “Indian Territory” the correct color
- Since Washington, D.C. is not included on your map, you will need to simply write “Washington, D.C. = _____ ” towards the bottom of the map
