How should we remember the Civil War? This month www.SouthernCultures.org continues to answer the question of the Sesquicentennial with more featured content—an essay from Drew Gilpin Faust: “The Dread Void of Uncertainty: Naming the Dead in the American Civil War.”  And coming soon, we’ll also offer Peter Carmichael’s essay on why we argue so much about Robert E. Lee. 

 

The War and its aftermath have always been important subjects for Southern Cultures, and we're marking the War’s Sesquicentennial with special content in our archive of online material on the War, which the Library of Congress has recently selected for inclusion in its own archives of websites that explore the Sesquicentennial. 

 

Over 100,000 people have read Southern Cultures in print, online, and through eBooks, and you can read all our new and previously published content on the Civil War by visiting:

and the sincere and effective attempt at readerly appeal,
go well beyond what is attempted by most. . . 
Southern Cultures is truly impressive.”
