Juveniles During The American Civil War : A 6 page
research paper on juveniles coming of age during the
American Civil war. The paper looks at family dynamic
changes during this time and how juveniles had to respond
to these changes by taking over adult responsibilities—to the
point of sons replacing their fathers on the battlefield. The writer
demonstrates how the family dynamic was carried into war
because of the youth of these soldiers, and posits that this
dynamic ultimately led to a justification for coming of age in
war. Cvwarjuv.wps

Confederate Partisan Ranger Activity : A 27 page paper
discussing the guerrilla warfare tactics employed by the
Confederacy during the Civil War. Independent of stringent
military control, most were led by men of integrity but other
units used the war to indulge in theft and murder. In the end,
some historians believe that partisan ranger activity prolonged
the war; others believe that it could have prolonged the war
to the extent that the South could have won. Whether viewed
favorably or not, whether militarily effective or not, those
Confederate rangers of integrity and constancy of purpose
performed incalculable service for those left at home for the
duration of the war. Their stories give a human touch to the
history that so easily could be reduced these 130 years later
to a listing of statistics and of the dates at which irrefutable
changes were made in the course of the country.
