I have been collecting some primary documents on my blog to help my readers (kids, families, non-academics) get a better understanding of the Civil War. Do you have specific go-to primary documents that you find particularly helpful in understanding the Civil War?
I already have the Declarations of Causes, the platforms of the 4 parties in the 1860 election, the official reports from Shiloh, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Chickamauga, and a smattering of other documents.
Are there any particularly telling letters, diary entries, speeches, newspaper articles etc that would be valuable to a new student to understand the war overall or certain aspects?
Thank you!
