History Repeats Itself...

	1999- NATO bombs Kosovo

			40 years ago- Vietnam
				60 years ago- World War II
					85 years ago- World War I

Who fights these battles, why do they fight,
what effects does war have on individuals, communities, and countries?

 

The County Historical Society has asked your class to research the lives of the Revolutionary War Veterans buried within the county. Projects created in this classroom will be added to the website of the County Historical Society. Your help is needed to explore the past of these veterans and the effects of war in general.

 

Your challenge...

Explore and research the lives of our local Revolutionary War veterans by asking questions, finding answers, and relating the effects of war in general

 

Research using books, local living veterans, letters from veterans, family members and the Internet (contact experts, museums, students in war-torn countries, and more.)
