	English Civil War - MSN Encarta
		English Civil War, military conflicts from 1642 to 1646 in England between the armies of Charles I and those of the English Parliament that were influenced by wars that took place at the same time in Ireland and Scotland.
		The first major battle of the war at Edgehill, in Warwickshire, on October 23, 1642, fought between royalist and Parliamentarian field armies of around 13-14,000 men each, led by the king and the Earl of Essex respectively, was inconclusive.
		The course of the English Civil War is impossible to understand fully unless it is seen as part of a wider War of Three Kingdoms that engulfed the whole of the British Isles.

	Civil War - History I
		The Civil War was between the Southern States, trying to preserve slavery and an agricultural way of life, and the Northern States, dedicated to a more modern way of life and to ending slavery.
		Civil War soldiers were the first men to fight under a unified command, to battle from trenches, and to wage a major cordon offense.
		The war, in Lincoln's words, was an "appeal from the ballot to the bullet." From 1861 to 1865 in the United States, the calm reason that is basic to democracy gave way to human passions.

	Scottish Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Scottish Civil War of 1644–50 was part of wider conflict known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which included the Bishops Wars, the English Civil War and Irish Confederate Wars.
		The war was fought between Scottish Royalists — supporters of Charles I, under James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose, and the Covenanters, who had controlled Scotland since 1639 and allied themselves with the English Parliament.
		This in turn sparked civil war in England, because the Long Parliament did not trust Charles with command of an army to put down the Irish rebellion, fearing that it would also be used against them.

		Constitutionally, the wars established a precedent that British monarchs could not govern without the consent of Parliament although this would not be cemented until the Glorious Revolution later in the century.

	Suspension of Civil Liberties - Dispatch Depot Message Board (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In times of war, especially when the war is in occurring in the immediate vicinity, civil liberties historically have taken a back seat to national security concerns.
		The backlash against such policies were hampering Davis' ability to prosecute the war and by late 1863 he had dropped all pretenses of avoiding the loss of civil liberties which, as we have seen, had already effectively disappeared.
		Although Lincoln might have refrained from officially referring to the US being at war with the Confederacy, I have to believe that, in his own mind, he was convinced that it was, indeed, a war.

		Though the capitol gates now standing were constructed after the Civil War from bricks from an arsenal destroyed by Sherman's troops, they are in keeping with the Gothic style of the original capitol building, a style inspired by the popular romance novels of the era by Sir Walter Scott.

		His letters also leave a strong impression of camp life, his love for his wife and family, and the daily tensions of life in the 79th, which was a rather rowdy unit that had its colors taken away for a while in late 1861 for insubordination.
		The only difficulty in reading the let-ters is their occasional use of Scottish slang, and the editor’s choice to retain their frequent phonetic misspellings.
		This book is highly recom-mended for its unique presentation of soldier life in a war that was, for the Campbells, fought literally by brother against brother.

	About Charlie Zahm and The Civil War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Charlie’s interest in history (in fact, one of his degrees is in history) led him to disciplined research of the period, and how it affected the body of music now so important to its proper understanding.
		Zahm---still much revered in Ohio---was the uncle of the first Charles Louis Zahm (and lent his name to the child, though it is now spelled differently), and Charlie is the fifth in line to hold that exact name; so he is actually, in part, named after a Civil War officer.
		CD, "Americana," is heavily influenced by music of the War, and the collection of songs (clips of which can be heard elsewhere on this website) has proven a favorite of those who enjoy the study of this period.

	Penman, The Scottish Civil War
		Moreover, the book also shows how the rivalry between Bruce and Balliol and their followers created a rift within the ranks of the Scottish nobility, who took advantage of the chaotic situation of foreign and civil war to aggrandize their own claims and to pursue their own feuds.
		The thread of the "Disinherited" which runs through the book is a strong and much needed corrective to the emphasis on the Bruce cause that has tended to permeate scholarship on the topic.
		Its concentration upon the lesser-known civil war between Bruce and Balliol factions effectively illuminates a darker recess of the Wars of Independence, and its treatment of the Balliol family and the "Disinherited" serves as an effective counterbalance to the pro-Brucean historiography that has permeated later medieval and modern scholarship on the subject.
