Dear Reader,
Our leftover turkey supply is dwindling fast, and the Thanksgiving flower arrangements are starting to wilt. I hope your holiday was warm and wonderful.
See ya on the Net,

More than 620,000 Americans died in the Civil War (1861-1865), more than any other war in American history. The North prevailed over the South, but the grief and bitterness caused by the war casualties and injuries healed very slowly. Learn more at these sites.
The Civil War Home Page
This extensive collection of articles, 1100 photos, battle maps, battle reports, 1860 census records, and Civil War links is a great resource for high school reports. The most fascinating documents are the primary sources, such as letters and diaries from the battlefield, slave narratives from interviews done in the 1930’s, and transcribed battle reports. The most useful page, however, is probably the Timeline of Events Leading Up to The Civil War. “1619 – English settlers in Virginia purchase 20 Africans from a Dutch ship.”
Ducksters: The American Civil War
For middle-school students writing reports or just wanting to learn more, Ducksters has nearly fifty Civil War articles arranged in five chapters: Overview, Major Events, Civil War Life, People and Battles. “There are many causes that led to the American Civil War. While slavery is generally cited as the main cause for the war, other political and cultural differences between the North and the South certainly contributed.”
History: American Civil War
Visit History.com to view their collection of forty-four videos (many of them just a couple of minutes long), their Civil War 150 interactive (commemorating the 150th anniversary of the war), and their huge collection of special features (such as Women in the Civil War and Reconstruction.) “The Union victory in the Civil War in 1865 may have given some 4 million slaves their freedom, but the process of rebuilding the South during the Reconstruction period (1865-1877) introduced a new set of significant challenges.”
