Staying on topic who was the only Confederate soldier to be charged and convicted of crimes of war ?
In 8th grade US History we end with the Civil War and in 11th grade pick up with Reconstruction. On the last day for 8th graders I asked that same question for 20 bonus points. The catch they cannot answer it until 1st day of 11th grade US history. One year I asked the question and 1 student walked up to my large bookcase pulled the corner away from the wall and grabbed a piece of paper that he had taped there when he was an 8th grader with the correct answer on it. He taped it there right after class 3 years of earlier.
