I also looked at the Civil War Bookshelf blog (http://cwbn.blogspot.com/) which was kind of confusing. It claims to be about historiography but I really didn't find much of that. He kind of just rants on about the same Civil War topic for long periods of time. There was one interesting post, though, where he talks about the difference between "stigmatizers" and "honorers." He basically says there are two types of people: those that want to honor the legacy of the Confederacy (honorers) and those that think its completely ignorant to do so because of slavery (stigmatizers). It was just interesting to see someone actually categorize people like that. - Angie | I also looked at the Civil War Bookshelf blog (http://cwbn.blogspot.com/) which was kind of confusing.

| + | The first blog I looked at was " Fredericksburg Remembered The Challenges and adventures of interpreting the history of Fredericksburg, Stafford and Spotslyvania. Overall it is a very good blog focusing on the area and discusses many different Civil War topics that range from Secession, Slavery, John Washington etc. While looking at the various blogs on this website the section I found the most interesting was the section on John Washington. While reading John Washington and the emergence of a voice for Fredericksburg slave I found that statistic provided by David Blight, that out of 9 million slaves only 200 left behind memoirs. What role does a lack of slave memoirs play in determining the remembrance of slaves during the Civil War? -Nick | ||
