	American Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Civil War (1861–1865) was fought in North America within the United States of America, between twenty-three mostly northern states of the Union and the Confederate States of America, a coalition of eleven southern states that declared their independence and claimed the right of secession from the Union in 1860–1861.
		One of the reasons that the US Civil War wore on as long as it did and the battles were so fierce was that most important generals on both sides had formerly served in the United States Army — some including Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, during the Mexican-American War between 1846 and 1848.
		The border States of Missouri and Maryland moved during the course of the war to end slavery, and in December 1864, the Congress proposed the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, barring slavery throughout the United States; the 13th Amendment was fully ratified by the end of 1865.

		The statistic that the American Civil War claimed some 624,000 lives and that this number exceeds the total number of deaths in all American wars combined is a sobering statistic indeed.

		The American Civil War is often called the first total war because of its tremendous drain on the economies of the participants.
		The American Civil War was also the first war in which trenches were dug on a wide scale, such as in defense of Vicksburg or at Cold Harbor.
		During the War, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was written to free all slaves held in territory under Confederate control at the time of the Proclamation.

	Civil War Film's Haunting Ashokan Melody Ties to Hart Island Cavalry History. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Though Ashokan Farewell was not written with the Civil War in mind, NYCHS research finds that Hart Island's CW history includes a connection to the Ashokan area from whence came -- 118 years after that conflict -- the inspiration for the melancholic melody so appropriate to remembering lives and loves lost in the war.
		At the start of the Civil War -- about a half century before eight of their villages were flooded over during the construction of Ashokan Reservoir to satisfy NYC's thirst for upstate fresh water -- men of Ashokan Valley began volunteering for military service in the Union cause.
		When I learned the beautiful woodlands west of Kingston had inspired the composition, I researched whether any of the Civil War regiments which mustered in and/or out of Rikers or Hart Island had recruited companies from that Catskills region.

	To Remember Spain / After Fifty Years: The Spanish Civil War
		The Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 was, at its inception, the last of the classical European workers' and peasants' revolutions -- not, let me make it clear, a short-lived "uprising," a cadre-controlled "guerrilla war," or a simple civil conflict between regions for national supremacy.
		A revolutionary civil war of the kind that occurred in Spain is no longer possible, in my view, today -- at least, not in the so-called "First World." Capitalism itself, as well as the classes that are said to oppose it, has changed significantly over the past fifty years.

	Amazon.com: The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns (1990): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		When people describe documentaries using the "Ken Burns approach," its style is understood: voice-over narrators reading letters and documents dramatically and stating the writer's name at their conclusion, fresh live footage of places juxtaposed with still images (photographs, paintings, maps, prints), anecdotal interviews, and romantic musical scores taken from the era he depicts.
		The story of the war is told through pictures, narratives, and the unobtrusive narration by David McCoulough, who's voice is pitch pefect for the job.
		The Civil War is the most important saga in American History, and this documentary gives the people who fought it and the effect the War had on the US as a people the proper historical weight and respect.
