The civil war affected children because they were eager to fight in the war the civil war was an adventure to them that they even lied about their name and age just so they can fight in the war. the boys that were 15 or older actually did get to fight the boys younger than that were usually served as drummer or bugle boys they usually died because they were easily shot at marching in front. According to the pyschology, most children would be affected by the death of their loved ones. A lot of the children were sheltered throughout the war. Sometimes their families would be split up because family members would pick sides. A lot of children were still able to maintain their innocence by playing games like cup and ball, graces, or hanky. They were still able to remain in school. INNOCENCE?????
