Lincoln Letters for Kids
What is Regiment vs. Regiment?
Regiment vs. Regiment is a new program that was developed from Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum’s quarterly publication Lincoln Letters for Kids and its companion club Lincoln’s Army. Children in Lincoln’s Army take part in activities for advancement in rank. Regiment vs. Regiment hopes to help aid teachers in their goal of interesting children in Civil War history by rewarding them for their hard work. Classrooms receive regiment colors and mascots, and then enter into competition with other classrooms across the country involved in the program. Classrooms receive points for activities they take part in. Students are kept updated of their point standings and the standing of the other schools they are competing with. At the end of the year, the classroom with the most points wins a certificate of recognition and a classroom flag with their colors and mascot proudly displayed on it. The student turning in the most projects become color bearer for the class, and receive their own miniature of the classroom flag. All classrooms participating, however, will receive a certificate of recognition for their hard work. Those students enrolled in Lincoln’s Army (those who have submitted their names and addresses to receive the publication at their home) can use their project points for points towards advancement as well.
Classrooms in both public and private schools are welcomed to take part. Home school groups can also join in the competition with a group of 5 or more students. We hope you decide to take part in the competition, and we look forward to hearing from the students in the years to come. If interested, please email
