did you know the civil war was getting going right about now, 150 years ago? crazy, i know. the new york times has created
a blog called DISUNION, which outlines the events of each day starting at the end of october (a week before lincoln is elected), as its sesquicentennial (you're welcome) falls.
DISUNION
One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, Americans went to war with themselves. Disunion revisits and reconsiders America's most perilous period -- using contemporary accounts, diaries, images and historical assessments to follow the Civil War as it unfolded.
i think this a really amazing idea, and have added it to our blogroll so you
never forget.
