<h3>πŸ“– Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>Every big event in history has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Historians use <strong>timelines</strong> to keep the story in order.</p>

<p>The Civil War story goes like this: First, the North and South argued about slavery. Next, Southern states left and the war began in 1861. Then came four hard years of battles and struggle. Finally, in 1865, the North won, the country came back together, and slavery ended.</p>

<p>Today you will build the Civil War timeline yourself, just like a real historian. Keeping events in order helps us understand how one thing led to another.</p>
