Research? You might find that it's an interesting subject. Three pages isn't much if you narrow it down to only one aspect of the civil war. You can't cover much of it in that short amount of writing so I suggest that you read something about it and then settle on which part you'd like to write about.

Here is an excerpt from "Storm Over the Land" by Carl Sandburg:

--From mid-April of '61 to mid-April '65 some 3,000,000 men North and South had seen war service--the young, the strong, the physically fit carrying the heavy load and taking the agony. The fallen of them had seen Antietam, Murfreesboro, Fredricksburg, Chancelorsville, the Willderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, each a shambles, a human slaughterhouse. In the burnt and blackened Shenandoah Valley were enough embers of barns and men to satisfy any prophet of doom.--

All of those names are battlefields. You could learn about just one of those, for example, and write your report on that. Or just check around and see what grabs your interest.

I like essay tests compared to all the other tests out there. With True/False tests, I get screwed over just about every time because if I select true it'll be false. I hated multiple choice tests. I hated the plain question tests where you only had the question and you didn't have a choice to pick from. Essays were the only tests that I didn't mind taking if the subject was okay. If the subject was boring, I'd just have to do what I could.

Good luck on the essay.
