The American Civil War Homepage

Photo, Abraham Lincoln

An impressive gateway providing hundreds of links to sites relating to the Civil War. The links are arranged into 12 sections: general resources, including music-related sites; the secession crisis and before; images of wartime; biographical information; documentary records, including sites covering both public and personal documents; state and local studies, arranged by state; battles and campaigns; rosters and regimental histories; Civil War reenactors; and Civil War round tables. While the site contains neither a search engine nor annotations, the gateway is easy to navigate and, as it is regularly updated, provides a valuable guide to currently available online resources on Civil War history.
