I just finished reading this little book by Fred DuBose, I Used To Know That Civil War. Now, most of you know I’m a history buff and this book gave me a wonderful review of history I learned in school but have long ago forgotten.

I Used To Know That Civil War brings back  the key components, main events and individuals that shaped the Civil War. The format of the book itself is easy to read and understand as the sections of the book is broken up by time periods. So, you will get an understanding of of what was happening before the war, what ignited the war and it’s outcome. I just love the way this book flowed.

As I read this book, I then learned some fact that I did not know before.For instance, did you know that the bible was used to justify slavery or how Harriet Tubman suffered from Narcoleptic seizures and was illiterate, yet she freed so many slaves without ever getting caught or loosing a slave.  The book also includes photos, charts  and little inserts detailing important points and information. 

I totally love this book and it’s a must-have, must-read, Period! This books serves an easy read if you just want to freshen-up on your history or even as a reference, as to refer to some Civil War information.  I highly recommend this book if you have children in middle school and higher, as it will be a great source to them. Take your chance in reading this book, you will not be disappointed.
