Thanks to Chris C over at the Sparks of Hope Blog for this one:
Did you know that Google has a timeline feature? Go to Google.com and type the following into the search box: civil war view:timeline
Or you can click HERE
This will give you a timeline of the Civil War. You can then proceed to click on a month or year of the war and be taken to a page with information about that particular month.
Very nice tool.
Until next time…

Your blog is so professional. I was very impressed with the Google timeline tool. I was wondering if you knew about Gapminder? http://www.gapminder.org/blog/gapminder-foundation-blog/make-your-own-graph-google-announces-motion-chart.html I think it would be a great analytical tool for your work. Thanks for sharing your blog. I have included it on my blogroll.
Was it really a “civil” war?
As I understand it from Ms Croxton my 100 year old South Carolina high school history teacher ( she probably was there at the time ) the states had formed a separate country and were not seeking control over the rest of the place. The northern states actually invaded a sovereign country.
