I know this was posted a while ago but I had to comment. You're lucky! I only learned about Gettysburg in 5th grade. I got to show off too but I didn't know as much then XP It's great when you can remember what the teachers forget isn't it?

This one had no reviews so I thought I would swing by. Part of me was expecting the classic embarrassing moment (must be the mystery buff waiting for a twist) - but it's light and happy. Nice job.

Keep an eye on tenses (I light up inside, (needs to be lit and a semi colon) and you have a spelling error in the last paragraph). Other than that its easy to read. I couldn't do what you did - not even sure I know the date today (let alone the people or the date then). :)
