	The American Civil War
		The Civil War, in U.S. history, was a conflict that pitted the Northern states of the American Union against the Southern states.
		The war raged for 4 years (1861-65) and was marked by some of the fiercest military campaigns of modern history.
		The war had international impact, not only because of the growing international stature of the United States, but also because war threatened world access to the South's cotton.

	Civil War Reenactment
		During the Civil War the unit we portray was involved in serval battles and campaigns in the Gulf Coast area and the Shenandoah Valley.
		Though "fighting" battles are a big part of the activities of the 173rd, we also put on demonstrations for schools, civic groups and others showing the drill and uniforms of the Federal troops during the Civil War.
		As a living historian, we do more than fight battles we attempt to present to the public how people lived, fought and died in the Civil War.

	H-Net Review: Nahfiza Ahmed on The Making of Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement
		The civil rights movement was an opportunity for both blacks and whites to engage in new forms of protest which ultimately sought the fulfillment of the promises of American democracy.
		Turning to the post-civil rights and Black Power eras, Clayborne Carson's paper on African American political thought is a welcome revision of the often cursory treatment that this period is given in standard histories of the civil rights movement.
		The period given most attention is usually 1954-65 when direct-action campaigns led to the triumphs of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

		The essays are, however, connected by McPherson's conviction that the Civil War's origins and outcome were in no way predetermined: the campaigns, battles and elections that determined the war's course were shaped by specific contingencies.
		Origins of the Civil War discusses the Antebellum South, specifically the different perspectives that surface in comparison to the North.
		It is a departure from most Civil War books in that it deals very little with battles or the military, but with the other aspects that fueled the conflict that divided a nation.

	H-Net Review: Nahfiza Ahmed on The Making of Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement
		The civil rights movement was an opportunity for both blacks and whites to engage in new forms of protest which ultimately sought the fulfillment of the promises of American democracy.
		Having dealt extensively with the reasons for the failure of post-war liberalism to advance civil rights for blacks, Badger concludes that this was relatively unimportant to the eventual rise of the civil rights movement.
		It was obvious that the nonviolent phase of the American civil rights movement was a success with the 1964 and 1965 civil rights acts.
