Generals, Part One

     As we just don't have enough time in class to go over the details of the lives of people we meet in our Sword of Freedom journey, I've included three biographies of Generals involved in the opening scenes of the Civil War. 
     Please, in your family, discuss these three questions: 
           1.  What qualities of leadership contribute to the most supporters in times of peace? in times of stress/crisis?
           2.  What qualities in leaders cause others to change their lives?
           3.  What makes a person decide to follow/support a cause?

 

Robert E. Lee

J.E.B. Stuart and George B. McClellan



Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (This site has a series of short videos that play at the top but load very slowly.  Please read the short biography at the bottom as well.)
