Bledsoe’s Teaching Civil War Battles and Leaders through Classroom Simulations) A document or primary source (or collection of primary sources) that you like to use and why (Ex: Nick Sacco’s Teaching the Reconstruction Era through Political Cartoons) Virtual Roundtables on teaching the Civil War and/or Reconstruction Eras (Ex: Reconstruction in Public History and Memory at the Sesquicentennial: A Roundtable Discussion)
