For Square 6, create a square that represents your Civil War era woman. In addition to your square, be ready to share the following with the class (this can be verbal or written and then read, but you should have your information organized and clear)

1. Overview of her life

2. Explain why she is notable in relation to the Civil War

3. Be ready to engage in a role-play as your woman
