ABC’s of America’s Civil War by Alyssa Wedemeyer
Let’s learn about America’s Civil War history — one letter at a time!
Who knew learning history could be this fun? A B C of America’s Civil War makes one of America’s most important eras totally accessible, exciting, and kid-friendly — without losing the heart of the history.
Designed for ages 5–10, this is the first book in the ABC’s of America for Kids Series, and it sets the bar high. From Abraham Lincoln to Harriet Tubman to the Battle of Palmito Ranch, every letter of the alphabet opens the door to a new person, place, or moment from the Civil War. It sparks curiosity. After reading, don’t be surprised if your 7-year-old asks to visit a battlefield or wants to know more about Lincoln.
The facts are real and meaningful — you’ll learn about Wilmer McLean, whose house saw both the start and end of the war — but they’re explained in a way young readers can grasp and remember. And it does it with rhyming text, beautiful illustrations, and unique, age-appropriate facts that actually stick.
This isn’t a dry textbook. It’s a gateway book — the kind that makes history feel like an adventure. Perfect for classrooms, homeschool, or teachers wanting to make America’s Civil War approachable.
Educational, fun, and beautifully done — the ABC’s of history done right.
