Wow, historical music - my favorite!  I assume you mean the American Civil War, since this is based from Yahoo US. Let's see, my friend the reenactor would be able to rattle them off by heart, but let's see what I can get you from my stuff:\n\nA lot of fife music is anonymous, so I'm afraid that won't help too much.  But if you're interested, try starting at the Corps of Fifers & Drummers, the museum there in CT has a website with links to quite a few things of interest.\n\nI know Aura Lee, My Old Kentucky Home, etcetera were pretty popular songs as far as civilian stuff.  Stephen C. Foster was probably the most well know composer, whether he performed or not I'm not sure but I'll wager some easy research would turn that up.  Strauss waltzes were still pretty popular, but he himself was deceased by that point.  \n\nJenny Lind was by far the most popular singer anywhere from around the 1840s - she performed all over the place, there were ships named after her, songs written/dedicated to her, etcetera.  Even today people know her name, she was apparently that good.\n\nAs far as other world music, I know that's period for Mahler, but I'm not sure who else.\n\n\nA quick google - let's see, this site\nhttp://www.nisc.com/ripm/volume_description/NYM.htm\nhas a journal published up until 1860, might not help too much but could give you some leads.

You can get information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_%281849-1865%29 for the information you are looking for.  I wont do your homework - but I will help you out (what kind of a history teacher would be then - lol)\n\nGood Luck!!!

I found a link which has information on forgotten heroines of the Civil War.  It is about the nurses who cared for soldiers\nin dire conditions and has articles on lots of them.\nIt looked interesting, and there seemed to be lots of other links to information about Civil War women.

check a local music store first.  not a record store, but something like Marshal Music, or Meyer Music is good for strings.

Sounds like homework... \nProbably should do some of you own thinking here... but here are a few ideas to get started with...\n(a) What sort of state were the former Confiderate states in? Had they used their manpower and economic resources to better economies or to fight the war?  What was their infrastructure like? Were there roads, towns, etc. left after Sherman's March to the Sea?  \n(b) What was the South's economic system like? With slaves freed, how was the economy (which required lots of manual labor on large plantations) going to function?  How were the white and black citizens in the south going to live together / work together after one class of people were literally property?\n\n(2) You might find starting information on Johnson's reconstruction plans here:\n(This is wikipedia, so you need better sources, but it's a start)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction

Religous music changed A LOT over this period.  Maybe you could focus on the way the music has changed and tie it to the political and cutural facts.
