I am a Confederate Soldier

Forsyth Reads Together

Learn about the equipment, uniforms, and life of a Confederate soldier – with a twist. Challenge historical stereotypes and shatter preconceived notions of what prompted Southern men to take up arms. Over half a million lives were lost. What made them think the sacrifices were worth it? The promise of a better life helped fill the Southern ranks.

  • Arms and accoutrements
  • Slavery WAS the cause of the war and why
  • Racism product of slave society
