  • Essay:
    The length of the essay is not as important as the topic, idea, or points developed. Clear, well-expressed, original essays are sought. Essays might address such topics as General Lee's or General Jackson's heritage and their lives at war and at peace, Jackson as tactician, Lee as a strategist, Lee's or Jackson's impact on modern battlefield tactics, Lee's Christian character, Jackson's religious persuasion, Jackson the enigma, Lee on gentlemanly virtues, Lee as President of Washington College, or possible changes in the course of the Civil War had Jackson not died so early. History and English teachers may be particularly useful resources for ideas to research.
