http://www.7cs.com/civilwar.htm
M easured in physical devastation and human lives, the American Civil War was the costliest war in the experience of the American people. When it ended, 620,000 men (in a nation of 35 million) had been killed and at least that many more had been wounded. More men died of disease and sickness than on the battlefield; the ratio was about four to one. The physical devastation was largely limited to the South, where almost all the fighting took place. Large sections of Richmond, Charleston, Atlanta, Mobile, and Vicksburg lay in ruins. The countryside through which the contending armies had passed was littered with gutted plantation houses and barns, burned bridges, and uprooted railroad lines. Many crops were destroyed or confiscated, and much livestock was slain. More than $4 billion worth of property had been wiped out through emancipation, the repudiation of Confederate bonds and currency, the confiscation of cotton, and war damage. The war settled the question of the permanence of the Union; the abolition of slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation ; the doctrine of secession was discredited, and after 1865 states would find other ways to manifest their grievances. The war expanded the authority of the federal government, with the executive branch in particular exercising broader jurisdiction and powers than at any other time in its history.

  • Visitor Information
    Monument And Memorials Civil War Unknowns Near Arlington House, in what was once part of its famous rose garden, stands a monument dedicated to the unknown soldiers who died in the Civil War. The monument, dedicated in September 1866, stands atop a masonry vault containing the remains of 2,111 soldiers gathered from the fields of Bull Run and the route to the Rappahannock. The remains were found scattered across the battlefields or in trenches and brought here. This monument was the first memorial at Arlington to be dedicated to soldiers who had died in battle, and who later could not be identified. Because in some instances only a few bones or a skull were recovered, it is assumed that the vault contains the remains of Confederate soldiers as well as Union troops. Quartermaster General Montgomery Meigs ordered that these bodies be gathered and buried on this particular site, knowing that the presence of graves here would prevent the Lee family from inhabiting their house again.

    Did You Know?
    Pilgrimages to Civil War battlefield sites and the creation of memorials to fallen soldiers began before the war was over, as men buried and mourned their comrades and women held informal rituals to remember lost loved ones. Most famously, Union dead at Gettysburg in 1863 were praised by President Abraham Lincoln for sacrificing their "last full measure of devotion" to the cause of freedom. As historian David Blight has written, "Death on such a scale demanded meaning."

    The Virtual CSA Purple Heart
    This memorial is posthumously awarded to those wounded or killed while serving the Confederacy. Since the Confederacy ceased to exist there is no nation presently surviving to recognize the sacrifice of the Confederate soldier. It is up to us, the living descendants to remember their sacrifice, and to never forget their heroic deeds. Our ancestors are people too, and although they are gone, their spirits remain. It is a basic human need to be remembered by one's family and the communities where they lived, fought and bled for. They were not traitors, they were American heroes that were loyal to their State government. We should remember them appropriately. Example: "The Virtual CSA Purple Heart Award"

    Echoes of war Memorials and battlefields preserve Civil War history in Arkansas By Durand Young Northwest Arkansas On two cold March days in 1862, more than 26,000 soldiers clashed in the first major Civil War engagement in Arkansas, the Battle of Pea Ridge, also known to the Confederacy as the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern. The Union victory was the largest battle west of the Mississippi River. One Union officer would later write he had not seen any fighting compared to that at Elkhorn Tavern on March 7. Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park (501-846-2990), located southwest of Fayetteville, memorializes the intense fighting and retreat of Confederate forces on Dec. 7, 1862. It was the last major engagement in northwest Arkansas. The park contains 19th-century buildings and a mile-long walking trail of the battlefield. The visitor center offers an audiovisual program and exhibits. Headquarters House Museum (501-521-2020), which served as headquarters for both sides during the war, was in the midst of the Battle of Fayetteville in April 1863 when Confederate forces tried unsuccessfully to dislodge the small Union contingent based in the city. Living history programs are presented at the 1853 Greek Revival home. The Fayetteville Confederate Cemetery provides a peaceful, picturesque resting place for casualties from Pea Ridge, Prairie Grove and other battles.

    Downtown Indianapolis Memorials Admiral Raymond Spruance Memorial Basin
    Admiral Raymond Spruance was a U.S. Navy officer most remembered for his successful tactics against the Japanese in the Battle of Midway, June 4 – 6, 1942. An Indianapolis native, the USS Indianapolis served as his flagship throughout World War II. A basin, located on the north end of the Downtown Central Canal near the USS Indianapolis Memorial, is dedicated to this Indianapolis Naval hero. American Legion Mall
    American Legion Mall, extending from St. Clair Street to North Street between Meridian and Pennsylvania, is home to the World War II and Korean and Vietnam Wars Memorials. The World War II Memorial, on the east side, is the first memorial to be shaped like a half-circle. The convex side tells a brief history of the war and pays special tribute to Hoosier Medal of Honor recipients and distinguished Hoosier units. The opposite side features excerpts from letters sent home from the warfront and a timeline of events throughout the war. A database with the names of those Hoosiers killed in action is located next to the memorial. The Korean and Vietnam Wars Memorial is located on the southern end of the mall. The two appear to be separate entities, but in actuality, they combine to become one memorial. They are two pieces of a whole cylinder, not equally split, however, because more soldiers were killed or MIA in the Vietnam War. Thus, that section is slightly larger. One side of the memorial features a map and letters sent home from soldiers. On the other side, visitors can find the names of Indiana veterans killed or MIA in both wars.

    Monuments and Memorials to Women Warriors
    Although it is the largest and most extensive undertaking for military women, WIMSA , the Women's Memorial at the gates of Arlington National Cemetery, is not the first monument to military women or to women who have aided the military in our country's time of war. Here are some of the other statues and memorials that honor those brave women who served their country in many ways over the years since our nation began. On April 26 1777, the daughter of a New York militia officer, Sybil Ludington was with her family when an exhausted messenger reached the Ludington home with news of a British attack and burning of Danbury, Connecticut where munitions and supplies for the entire region were stored. Sybil leapt to her horse and galloped off to rally the surrounding patriots and call out the volunteer militia to repel the British raid. Racing through the dark night over more than 40 miles of unfamiliar roads, the 16-year-old girl spread the alarm to rouse the countryside against the attack. The statue, presented by the DAR, is in Carmel, New York. Margaret Corbin: During the Revolutionary War battle of Fort Washington, 1776, Margaret Corbin manned her husbands cannon when he was killed, until she was wounded. Margaret Corbin was the first woman awarded a pension by Congress for her service and disability. She is buried in the U.S. Military Academy Cemetery at West Point. Some historians think that her deeds, not those of Mary Hays, began the legend of Molly Pitcher.

      Between 1860 and 1861, eleven Southern states defied the authority of the U.S. government and seceded from the Union, asserting a doctrine of states’ rights. Ironically though, for several years before the war, Wisconsin had been the most thoroughgoing champion of states’ rights. Unlike the Southern states, however, Wisconsin had used the doctrine in opposition to, rather than in support of, slavery. States’ rights had been the basis of the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s decision to nullify the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act after the controversy surrounding the fugitive slave Joshua Glover (see “Abolitionism and Other Social Reforms”). When war broke out... more...

    Haverford Photographer Brings Black Soldiers Role in Civil War to Light
    Despite the contributions made by many black soldiers during the Civil War, their role in some of the most critical battles of the union have been forgotten and are virtually unknown today. Over the next twelve months, photographer William Williams hopes to bring to light the prominent role African Americans played during that time in American history by creating a photographic record of Civil War battlefields and historic sites where African Americans fought. Williams is chair of Haverford College Gettysburg Pennsylvania Gettysburg : A Journey in Time. The experience also made him acutely aware that many Civil War battlefields and historic sites are in constant jeopardy of being lost, particularly many of the 449 sites where black soldiers fought and died. On example, says Williams, is in The Port Hudson, Louisiana area near the Mississippi River Fort Wagner Gettysburg th Massachusetts Monument th Williams plans to continue the work he began at Gettysburg Pennsylvania Convention Center commissioned four photographs of the Gettysburg National Military Park Metropolitan Museum , the Brooklyn Museum , the Baltimore Museum and the permanent collections of several colleges and universities.
