The Civil War: Mystery Throughout History allows students to join in an investigation into the cause of the American Civil War.
Learn about the people and issues that produced tensions in the United States on the eve of the war, and help our researchers discover why the war was fought. Through these experiences, students will gain a fuller understanding, not only of the events of the war, but also of the people who experienced them.
The Civil War: Mystery Throughout History is a pre-recorded, engaging production that is supplemented by additional on-line interactive activities that help students view the war through a variety of perspectives.
