The Reason Why i choose The Civil War

The reason why i choose the Civil War was i didnt know that much about it and watned to learn what all happend in the civil war and what kind of battles went on during that time. And i also wanted to know more about Pearl Harbor and how it all started and how long it lasted till a new battle started and in till it ended there were thousand of men killed in the pearl harbor. More and more men went to battle after alot of men were killed they werer sent to base then shipped over to there right side of the war and fought from there. And the more men that went to war the more the women had to take a roll in the mens work like doing some of the out side work. And i wanted to learn what kind of work had to do while the men were gone at war and how much harder it was for them to do it instead of working in side all day. And i also wanted to learn how many importan battles went on during the years the Civil War lasted and what impact they had on the worlds society and what impact they had on todays future.
