Civil War

The purpose of this category is to provide viewers and researchers with a well-rounded selection of web sites devoted to the US Civil War, 1861-1865. Explore the bloodiest war fought on American soil through biographies, maps, on-line resources, original photographs, databases and primary documents.

Please submit only sites of a general nature about the War to this main category. Please review these sub-cats for the most appropriate place to list your web site: Confederacy, Confederate Flags, Confederate Units, Artillery Units, Union Units, Cavalry, Battles, Books, Genealogy, Magazines, Memoirs, Navies, Organizations, Personalities, Prisons, Regional, or Women.

Reenactment group sites should be listed in Recreation/Living_History/By_Historical_Region/North_America/United_States/Civil_War/

Artillery

This category is for general information on the artillery branch of service, and for specific unit information.

Battles

From secession to surrender, this category includes websites that depict the vivid battle scenes of the American Civil War, 1861-1865. Through creative graphics, original photographs to first-hand accounts, visitors will be transported into the turbulent past that will always be remembered by all Americans.

Submit sites about the battle to this category. Sites about the city of Gettysburg or the National Park Service site do not belong here.

Cavalry

This category is for any general site on Civil War Cavalry and those that contain both Federal and Confederate information.

Please submit sites at this level that are of state or regional interest, or deal with units larger than a regiment. Individual regiments should be submitted to their appropriate Federal or Confederate sub-category.

Confederacy

This category is focused on the civil government of the Confederate States of America. Here you will also find a few websites of a general nature that do not better fit elsewhere. The time period begins with state secession in late 1860 and concludes with the conquest of the Confederacy in 1865. Here you can learn about: · The Confederate Government, which served the eleven seceded states from 1861 to 1865. · The Confederate President, Jefferson Davis. · The Confederate Cabinet. · The Confederate Congress. · The Confederate Constitution. · The Confederate White House. · The Executive Branches of the Confederate Government. · The Confederate Capital, Richmond, Virginia. · Miscellaneous Websites, which have no better home.

Do you wish to submit a new website? If so, please submit only websites about the Confederate States of America civil government, or general websites that deal with the Confederacy or its people. This is not the place for websites about the Confederate military, nor about battles, soldiers, military commanders, descendents of veterans, or re-enactment groups. Neither is this the place to list websites that deal with the United States Government during this time period. Do not submit sites that would fit better elsewhere. Before choosing this category, make sure there is not a better fit in one of the other subcategories under “Civil_War”.

Confederate Units

Please submit sites that deal with the history of infantry regiments from Alabama to this site. Artillery and Cavalry Units should be submitted to their respective sites. Sites that are primarily reenactment information should be submitted to Living History.

Image Galleries

Sites which are only or predominantly pictures and images of the Civil War.

Personalities

Biographical sites about individuals who were involved in the American Civil War.

Please submit individual and collections of biographical sites here that deal with the Civil War. Autobiographies and Memoirs should be submitted to the Memoir category.

Prisons

“The prison struck me as being at best but a miserable makeshift. The day I saw them, they were a sweltering mass of humanity, each unit of which was confined to a space of not more than twenty feet. This of itself was sufficient to make the prison unsanitary. But that was not all...” The topic of war conveys images of death and destruction - but even more heinous than the slain on a battle field is the gruesome pictures and stories of the Civil War prisoners. This category is dedicated to telling their stories so that they may be remembered.
