- The Civil War Through a Child's Eyes, from the
Library of Congress focuses on the use of
historical fiction and primary sources to expand students'
perceptions of the Civil War era. Literature and photographic images
reflect,
communicate, and influence human perspectives of historical
events. Specifically, the unit helps students to view the Civil
War era
through a child’s eye, rather than from an adult perspective.
