Civil War

As many of you know, the United States recently recognized the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the the Civil War. For the next four years, we will be observing the actions of Americans from an earlier century and reflecting on the meaning of those events for our lives in the 21st century.

Education Week published an article recently suggesting that this is an unusual opportunity for educators to use primary sources available via the World Wide Web to reconnect with this important topic in United States history.
