Have you ever wondered how school mascots came about? According to Angel Spivey, mascots date back at least to the Civil War where regiments began adopting mascots as a way to represent all that they believed to be good about their organization.  
 Most of these mascots were live animals, like dogs and eagles, which were named and traveled with the regiments into battle. After the war, collegiate sports emerged and the use of mascots carried on the tradition that we enjoy today.
