The story behind my topic choice

I chose the civil war and aftermath topic because, I've always like to learn about past wars and history. I also like to learn how the people and all of the surrondings acted, spoke, and thought during those times. Growing up in the south I've always heard stories about the war and it's very interesting. I've studied the civil war and it's aftermath alot through my educational career but I'd love to learn more detail on the topic.
