Brothers Bound A Source Page for Information on the Civil War Era Prisoner of War Experience One of the darker sides of this war was the fate of those people, men and some women, captured and taken prisoner in the line of duty. Conditions in these institutions were often terrible, in both Confederate and Union facilities. About 56,000 men were prisoners of war, and it is estimated that about 14% of all captives died while incarcerated. This site is dedicated to the memories of all our ancestors whose lives were touched by these dark places, and we hope to shed some light on a subject that is often neglected.

Next The Civil War in the Shenandoah Valley provided by A Heritage Enterprise-Your History Connection a On December 6, 1833, Virginia McLaurine Mosby, wife of Alfred Daniel Mosby, gave birth to a son and named him John Singleton, after his paternal grandfather. Mosby lived in Nelson County, Va. until the age of six when his father moved to adjoining Albemarle County, four miles from Charlottesville and within viewing distance of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. After showing proficiency in Greek during grade school, he enrolled at the University of Virginia on October 3, 1850. But after shooting a fellow student after a dispute, Mosby was expelled from the University, and took up several months of study in a local law office. He soon passed the bar and set up his own practice in nearby Howardsville, also in Albemarle County. A town visitor, Pauline Clarke, captured Mosby's affection. After courting her, he moved to her hometown of Bristol, on the Tennessee border. On December 30, 1857 they were married. Their first child, a daughter named May, was born on May 10, 1859. When Virginia followed other Southern states and voted to secede from the Union following Abraham Lincoln's election to the presidency in 1860, Mosby decided to enlist in the Confederate army.

The American Civil War Homepage "Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history." The American Civil War Homepage gathers together in one place hypertext links to the most useful identified electronic files about the American Civil War (1861-1865). The page opens a gateway to the Internet's multi-formatted resources about what is arguably the seminal event in American history. Not only was the War the occasion for the abolition of slavery, but by conflict's end the re-United States had emerged as a modern, industrialized power. It is this sense of history, transcending the stale recitation of dates and facts and alive with meaning, to which Lincoln referred when he wrote in 1862, "Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history." The links gathered in this Homepage are a metaphor for the interconnections of the War's past with our present and future. Thus, technology reveals the deep-structure of the human experience and helps to explain the continuing American fascination with the struggle between North and South, free and slave.

Some fled into southern cities, such as Juba; others trekked as far north as Khartoum and even into Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, and other neighboring countries. These people were unable to grow food or earn money to feed themselves, and malnutrition and starvation became widespread. The lack of investment in the south resulted as well in what international humanitarian organizations call a “lost generation” who lack educational opportunities, access to basic health care services, and little prospects for productive employment in the small and weak economies of the south or the north.

Hundreds of people have been killed in the rebellion against the Ugandan government, and an estimated 400-thousand people have been left homeless. Political violence recently increased in Kampala with the 1998 and 1999 bombings of several popular restaurants nightclubs, and other public places. Eight foreign tourists, including two Americans, were murdered by an Interehamwe guerilla group in Bwindi National Forest in March 1999. There has been rebel activity in the northern and western sections of Uganda. By early 2003 optimism was growing that 16 years of fighting in northern Uganda may soon come to an end. Rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army declared a cease-fire and say they want to hold talks with the government of Yoweri Museveni. The pledge by the Lord's Resistance Army to cease all ambushes, abductions and attacks has been welcomed by the Uganda government. But there are also reasons for the government to negotiate. Analysts are saying that President Museveni could finally be realizing that, even with access to the rebel bases in Sudan, the military solution he once preferred is not going to succeed. He is now under enormous public pressure to try the path of a negotiated settlement.

Below is selection of photographs and links to other materials that were created during the Civil War years. Most of the photos in Part I are among those included in the Library of Congress' outstanding collection of original photographs. (Some photos are digitally restored.) Since I am very much a "people photographer", I lean towards those examples of Civil War photography in which the actual participants appear. These are the faces of the people who experienced the War Between the States firsthand. This very modest collection by no means tells the complete story of the War, but it is an attempt to present key images of several different aspects of the conflict. As it was with so many items, photographic materials were in short supply in the South and thus were reserved primarily for portraiture. The North had no such shortage, but the cumbersome wet plate processes of the day (and long exposures) prevented the photographers from doing the kind of war photojournalism that became so common during the twentieth century. Fortunately for us, they were willing to record everything else in a very thorough manner so that future generations would know the places and people of The War Between the States.

What Caused the Civil War? Gettysburg National Military Park Kidzpage (Fort Scott National Historic Site) There were many reasons for a Civil War to happen in America, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the American Revolution ended in 1782. Between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the North and South grew more intense. One of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. This tax was called a tariff . Southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most Northern people. Taxes were also placed on many Southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to Northern goods of equal value. An awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected Southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the North. The situation grew worse after several "panics", including one in 1857 that affected more Northern banks than Southern. Southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save Northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. In the years before the Civil War the political power in the Federal government, centered in Washington, D.C., was changing. Northern and mid-western states were becoming more and more powerful as the populations increased. Southern states lost political power because the population did not increase as rapidly. As one portion of the nation grew larger than another, people began to talk of the nation as sections. This was called

Causes of the Civil War by Randy Golden exclusively for About North Georgia ...and they [Yankees] are marked ... with such a perversity of character, as to constitute, from that circumstance, the natural division of our parties Thomas Jefferson Some say simplistically that the Civil War was fought over slavery. Unfortunately, there is no "simple" reason. The causes of the war were a complex series of events, including slavery, that began long before the first shot was fired. Competing nationalisms, political turmoil, the definition of freedom, the preservation of the Union, the fate of slavery and the structure of our society and economy could all be listed as significant contributing factors in America's bloodiest conflict. Complaints of Georgians Many of the problems Georgians saw more than one hundred fifty years ago are being reiterated today. The "oppressive" federal government. High taxes(tariffs before the war). A growing government unwilling to listen to law abiding citizens. Sound familiar? They were complaints levied from 1816 on in Georgia. Constitutional Questions People argued about the meaning of the Constitution since its infancy. From a legal standpoint, the document defines the relationship between the people of the United States and the federal government, detailing the powers and responsibilities of each.
