Growing up during the Civil War, children like fourteen-year-old Theodore Upson and eleven-year-old Lucy Larcom did more than just watch from the sidelines, they worked and fought to try to preserve their way of life. Whether on the battlefields, in the factories, on plantations, or at home, children such as Willis Cozart and Mary Ferguson, young slaves, faced the realities of war in a country ripped apart though restricted supplies, slavery, and most tragically, the deaths of their families.
