3) It’s challenging & overwhelming to discuss the entire Civil War in 1 chapter! So after reading chapter 15, the main points to summarize:

A. What were the Confederate States of America and why was it created?

B. What was Lincoln’s role in the Civil War as a war-time president and why does this book mention that many doubted he would be reelected?

C. What were the forces behind how the Union was able to overpower the Confederacy? What led them to be able to win?
