I thought I would post some helpful websites:
I thought this was a very interesting interactive website on the Civil War.

History.com has interesting information for studying anything in history. You do need to look at it with your children as it is also for adults as well.
We read the photobiography of Abraham Lincoln which was very good and then I asked the children to write about Abraham Lincoln, his importance, etc.
We used this notebooking page.

The Children's Encyclopedia of American History by DK publishers has been very helpful in our Civil War study and honestly I preferred it over the Landmark American History book. If you haven't gotten it, it is a great book with lots of color pictures and photographs on each page. We'll probably use parts of it for our later studies on American history.
Anyone else had good ideas for studying the Civil War?
