Transformations: Pennsylvanians and the Civil War:
The Civil War between the Union (North) and Confederacy (South) was the deadliest war in American history. It restored the union, abolished slavery and increased the power of the federal government.
Only one major battle took place in Pennsylvania, but Pennsylvanians in every country were transformed by the War and effected its outcome.
Pennsylvanians experienced the War personally, responding in different ways: they were inspired to action; they offered courageous aid; they waited anxiously; and when it was over, they remembered how it had changed their lives. |
