150th Anniversary of the Civil War

2011 will mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and the causes and long term impact of the war are still being debated. The Westerner will from time to time post articles about this momentous event in our nation's history.

Let the debate begin.

Anonymous said...: I find it amazing that 150 years later the Civil War continues to fascinate the American population like no other event, even WWII. Just about the time you think nothing else can be learned about the civil war, a shelf of new scholarship comes out. I look forward to reading the articles you post on the westerner; 11:44 AM
