Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
Okay, so the question I'm about to ask is about documents about the civil war. You don't really need to read them but what is a good general/universal answer to this question?
1. How would you characterize the overall emotional impact of these seven readings on the Civil War? As a group, how do they document and dramatize the human cost of war?

Some of the passages that are read are the The Gettysburg Address, Men at war, and Letters to his Son

Answer 1

They give the readers a sense of compassion. The readers know that they cannot ever really feel the same way that those soldiers did but the stories make them want to. These documents give proof to how real the war really was and by giving personal accounts of the war, the readers get to see a bit of what was happening on the inside. The readers get to see the true reactions to the decisions of the government.
