Civil War Memory
http://cwmemory.com
Welcome to Civil War Memory. I blog about subjects related to how Americans have chosen to remember and commemorate their Civil War. Topics cover a range of issues from Civil War historiography to issues in public history and the teaching of history on the high school level. My current research focuses on the battle of the Crater, William Mahone and historical memory. I am also editing a large collection of letters by Captain John C. Winsmith of the 1st South Carolina Infantry.

Education Rather Than Removal
I‘ve never been a fan of tearing down our Civil War monuments because I tend to think that such a move only works to make us feel better. Although the removal of monuments reflects the very same political, economic, and social conditions that...

The United States is Not a Miracle
One of the points that Richard Dreyfuss hammered home the other day was the idea that “America is a miracle.” He never got around to explaining what he meant, but I suspect that most people in the room agreed. For most Americans I ass...

The Richard Dreyfuss Show
A few months ago I commented on actor Richard Drefyuss’s new crusade of working to introduce civics back into the high school curriculum. I did not know at that time that he would be speaking at my school. Well, today was the big day and I ...

Well done blog.

Best darn Civil War blog out there. A mark of his effectiveness is the critical statement at the bottom here. This blog is about Civil War memory. It analyzes our memories critically, and therefore it sometimes also shakes at our identity. Some readers won't like that. But if you're curious about history, have an open mind, and aren't afraid of intelligent commentary, then check out this blog.

You say he is "one of the most insidious anti-southern bloggers" but I actually believe him to be THE MOST INSIDIOUS. We must ban together and stop this monster of a person.

Would like to point out how biased Kevin Levin's Civilwarmemory blog is. He's one of the most biased and insidious anti-southern bloggers around. Check out his snide attitude towards anything celebrating southern history.
Love reading about different periods in history that are not my own.
