Unit 4: The Civil War and Reconstruction


Assignment 1: Preview Reflection Blog Post: Fights

Think about a time when you were involved in a fight, either verbal or physical. Write a detailed summary paragraph of this experience that includes the following:

What led up to the fight
Whether or not your tried to avoid the fight and how
The events of the fight
The outcome of the fight
Did the fight improve or hurt your relationship with that person?
Any lesson(s) you learned from the fight


I had gotten into a fight with my mom a verbal fight just arguing. it all started because I was being rude to my little sister. I really didn't try to avoid the fight because at the moment I was angry and really did not care about anything. Well in the end I just let my mom win because I thought this is my mother why am I arguing with her. the relationship with my mother didn't change because she understood and forgave me for my actions. I learned not to take out my anger on other people that had nothing to do with what was happening to em at the moment.

Death Among Us.


This is my home
and for this Yanks and Rebels
to come disturb my peace
is and outrage.
It is justified for them
to died here at my home
since they disturbed me
but the smells is something unbearable.

These soldiers were shirkers
thus they die here
the gun shots awake me
and their moaning is a pain to stand.

They just get shot
and fall to their death
they suffer the pain that I once suffered
and one side always losses and falls.

The battle was horrible
but at least its over
they fought for a foolish reason
and now they pay.



Amputation Redemption

Today was a horrible day

the worst site has came to be

and the yanks suffer

for their own and hurt them.

It sounds horrible

the yank screams

to their lungs

while they endure the pain

He thought he was smart like a fox

but when it came down to it

his leg had to be cut off and the

blood osses out like it would go on forever

The smell is horrible and this

soldiers are a Jonahs

the had it the worst

and they stink to a point that would kill.

what i seen today is unbelievable

because i never seen nothing like it

and i would never want to see it again

until i am destroyed and don't have to see the yanks pain.

  1. What a valuable lesson. It is hard sometimes though to keep it all together.

  2. Your poem is descriptive and shows understanding of the battle. Those woods sure are mean! 30/30 points for the first one, but where is the second one? 0/30 points for the second one.
