I think I will be just making up a soldier that will be fighting in the civil war on the Union side. I might talk about his battles and how difficult it is to fight in war and all the things you have to go through.
Good start, Kendrick. Now, you need to start thinking about the conflict. What does your main character want? Does he want to go home? Does he want to be promoted through the ranks?
What are the things that he goes through? What will happen in your story?
Once you have those details figured out, then you can be specific in your research. What are you going to need to know in order to write a story that is historically accurate?
