"Recruited from southwestern Ohio in the Fall of 1861, the regiment was organized at Camp Dennison in October. The following April, as part of General Sherman's division, they found themselves at the very heart of the Confederate surprise attack at Shiloh, TN, only 30 days after having been issued their rifles. They participated in the siege of Corinth, the capture of Arkansas Post, and the subsequent Vicksburg Campaign, seeing considerable action during the siege of that city. In April of 1864, while a part of Gen. Banks' Red River expedition, the entire regiment was captured after intense fighting at the Battle of Sabine Crossroads (Mansfield, LA) and imprisoned at Camp Ford, near Tyler, Texas. Six months later they were paroled, and saw action again in 1865 as part of the attack on Mobile. The 48th OVVI was mustered out in Texas in May, 1866."

Along the Old Federal Road(467 clicks)
"Now known as the "OLD FEDERAL ROAD," this primary travel route was conceived and built to connect Fort Wilkinson, near Milledgeville, Georgia, to Fort Stoddert, an American outpost north of Mobile, Alabama. Developed from the 1806-11 postal horse path that followed earlier Native American paths, the Federal Road subsequently became a primary travel route for pioneers going to the Mississippi Territory. The Federal Road functioned as an important link between Washington, D.C., and New Orleans. Early settlers, of the area now known as Monroe and Conecuh Counties, in Alabama included the Middleton and many other South Carolina families."

Civil War 150th: The Road to Civil War (449 clicks)
In this episode, the History Guys focus on the dramatic six months between Abraham Lincoln’s election and the outbreak of war. Over the course of the hour, they attempt to understand the period from the perspective of Americans at the time. Why did abolitionists dread the prospect of Lincoln’s presidency? Why did slaveholders in many parts of the South argue against secession? What made the leaders of Virginia, a state long known as “the mother of presidents,” finally decide to break their ties with the nation? How did 19th century ideas about race and gender shape people’s decision-making? And finally, did the existence of slavery mean some kind of civil war would come sooner or later, or might war have been averted?

Civil War and Reconstruction(450 clicks)
Yale course taught by David Blight. This course explores the causes, course, and consequences of the American Civil War, from the 1840s to 1877. The primary goal of the course is to understand the multiple meanings of a transforming event in American history. Those meanings may be defined in many ways: national, sectional, racial, constitutional, individual, social, intellectual, or moral. Four broad themes are closely examined: the crisis of union and disunion in an expanding republic; slavery, race, and emancipation as national problem, personal experience, and social process; the experience of modern, total war for individuals and society; and the political and social challenges of Reconstruction.

Civil War Washington(361 clicks)
Civil War Washington examines the U.S. national capital from multiple perspectives as a case study of social, political, cultural and medical/scientific transitions provoked or accelerated by the Civil War. The project draws on the methods of many fields—literary studies, history, geography, computer-aided mapping—to create a digital resource that chronicles the war's impact on the city. Troops, fugitive slaves, bureaucrats, prostitutes, actors, authors, doctors, and laborers were among those drawn to the capital by a sense of duty, desperation, or adventure. Drawing on material ranging from census records to literary texts and from forgotten individuals to the famous (such as Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman) we examine how Washington changed from a sleepy Southern town to the symbolic center of the Union and nation.

The 23rd Missouri Volunteer Infantry(328 clicks)
"he 23rd Missouri Volunteer Infantry Regiment (US) never had a unit history published. Many veterans of this distinguished federal command wrote letters and memoirs. One veteran, Private John Peter Bagley of Company "I" can even be called the poet laureate of the 23rd for he wrote at least two poems: THE NOBLE TWENTY THIRD and THE DYING SOLDIER . While there are many references to the 23rd Missouri Infantry in the history books no one has ever put everything together to tell the regiments story from muster to discharge. I have been compiling data since 1991 to accomplish this monumental task. My data includes information found in Frederick Dryer’s: A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion; War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies; The History of Linn County Missouri; The History of Sullivan County Missouri; A History of Northwest Missouri; Shiloh: Bloody April by Wiley Sword; and the veteran's memoirs and officer's reports found in the National Archives ."

"On these fields and in the woods surrounding a small creek in northwest Georgia, Union and Confederate armies clashed during the fall of 1863 (September 19-20) in some of the hardest fighting of the Civil War. An Alabama Infantry Regiment, the 19th Alabama, fought in this battle as it had done so in other western battles since Shiloh. This regiment was composed of men from northeast Alabama. As in most Confederate regiments, the members of the 19th were not plantation owners, rather they were farmers, shopkeepers and common everyday folk. "

The Civil War in American Memory(318 clicks)
The collective memory of the Civil War differs throughout America. To some the bloody conflict was a fight for emancipation and equality. For others, it represents the noble, but ultimately failed, attempt by the Confederacy to assert its sovereignty. In this wide-ranging lecture, delivered at the London School of Economics, Civil War historian David Blight examines American memory of the Civil War and how it has both hindered and facilitated justice and healing it its wake. Arguing for a history that is not just “frozen into formulas,” Blight delivers a moving meditation on a part of American history that is still very much alive today.

“John Brown, Abolitionist:The Man Who Killed Slavery, Sparked the Civil War, and Seeded Civil Rights(285 clicks)
David Reynolds “John Brown, Abolitionist:The Man Who Killed Slavery, Sparked the Civil War, and Seeded Civil Rights” The New-York Historical Society December 8, 2005 Running Time: 42:16 David Reynolds reassesses the legacy of John Brown, who was hanged for his role in the October 1859 raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry. Reynolds states that Brown did not live on the fringe of American life, but was at the very center of it. A devout Calvinist possessing unshakable integrity and faith in the righteousness of his violent actions against slavery, Brown was the only abolitionist in the years before the Civil War to live among blacks, advocate a rewritten constitution that would make slaves citizens, and ultimately to take up arms and give his life for the abolitionist cause.
