Description
Challenge your students' knowledge on the Union and the Confederacy as they analyze the popular Civil War song "Battle Cry of Freedom"!
This song originated as a pro-Union song and was soon adapted and used as a pro-Confederacy song. In this activity, students will listen to short excerpts from each version (YouTube links are included!) and compare and contrast them in a Venn Diagram. This activity can be completed individually, in pairs, or in groups. Then you can discuss the similarities and differences as a class!
