What orders did union general William Tecumseh sherman give his troops on their march of the sea?
Destroy the farms, kill the livestock, burn any crops the army can't eat, and wreck the railroads. Violence against civilians was strictly forbidden. When this happened, it was usually not at the hands of Sherman's men, but the mounted vandals ("bummers") who rode alongside the army for the food and the fun.

How did the Civil War affect the education after the war?
The Civil War changed who were eligible to receive an education. During the antebellum years, educating slaves had been strictly forbidden, because an educated mind is one that will not continue to be enslaved. So, following the abolition of slavery, blacks represented a large body of citizens who were illiterate. To solve this problem, schools were established that would teach blacks.
What are some restrictions that were imposed on the citizens during the Blitz?
According to The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank" After May 1940 the good times were few and far between: first there was the war, then the capitulation and then the arrival of the Germans, which is when the trouble started for the Jews. Our freedom was severely restricted by a series of anti-Jewish decrees: Jews were required to wear a yellow star; Jews were required to turn in their bicycles; Jews were forbidden to use street-cars; Jews were forbidden to ride in cars, even their own; Jews were required to do their shopping between 3 and 5 P.M.; Jews were required to frequent only Jewish-owned barbershops and beauty parlors; Jews were forbidden to be out on the streets between 8 P.M. and 6 A.M.; Jews were forbidden to attend theaters, movies or any other forms of entertainment; Jews were forbidden to use swimming pools, tennis courts, hockey fields or any other athletic fields; Jews were forbidden to go rowing; Jews were forbidden to take part in any athletic activity in public; Jews were forbidden to sit in their gardens or those of their friends after 8 P.M.; Jews were forbidden to visit Christians in their homes; Jews were required to attend Jewish schools, etc. You couldn't do this and you couldn't do that, but life went on" (page 3).
