(Jessica was in class, but she was bored and sleepy. Suddenly, she heard a noise outside the classroom door.) She heard it again and realized that she was the only one who could hear it. As she walked to the door, she realized something even more astonishing. No one in the classroom could see her. She had become invisible!

Jessica nervously opened the door and stepped outside. (To her horror, she found herself on a battlefield with thousands of men in red and blue coats fighting one another.) Terrified, she turned back to the classroom door but couldn’t find it. Knowing that she was trapped in this strange war made her hands and feet go cold and her heart begin to pound. (Out of nowhere, an unmanned horse began running toward her. Jessica tried to flee, but the horse was fast and caught up to her.) She screamed as the horse’s hooves descended upon her. Then everything went dark.

Jessica woke up to realize that she was still in her classroom and that she’d been dreaming all along. The dream had been about the American Civil War, which her teacher had been discussing in class. (Jessica was extremely relieved to be safe in class. She would much rather learn about a war than be a part of one.)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
