The traditional Civil War curriculum likely reflects a view of the war as a significant event in American history, with a clear distinction between the Union and Confederate sides. The emphasis on major battles and the outcome of those battles suggests a focus on military strategy and tactics.
The mention of the first major land battle, likely referring to the First Battle of Bull Run (or Manassas), indicates that people recognized the seriousness and intensity of the conflict. The fact that the Union Army defeated the Confederate Army at this battle may indicate a sense of triumph or optimism for the Union cause.
Citizens of both the Confederacy and the United States likely realized at this time the high stakes of the war and the potential for a long and bloody conflict. They may have also recognized the need for unity and determination in order to achieve victory.
