Guys help me please! Today, you will choose a topic related to the American Civil War. The novel, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, is set just after that major event. You may select any element of the Civil War you choose. Consider the tensions of the war from slavery to states' rights. Consider the impact on the country, local economies, and families. You want to make sure that your topic is narrow enough to give your paper focus, but not so narrow that you have difficulty finding enough information. You may need to adjust your topic sentence a couple of times.
