The second blog I read was Civil War Navy by Andrew Duppstadt. Most of his posts are about events that are going on in North Carolina which is where he works and lives. Most of the places that he talks about are the coastal forts that there. He also talks about African American reenacting units and history about them. I fell that the coastal war and the war at sea other parts of the war that are forgotten in the memory of the war. I find this interesting because like the war in the West this is area where the North won most of the battles and played a huge role in winning the war. Why is the war at sea forgotten in Civil War memory? Logan T | The second blog I read was Civil War Navy by Andrew Duppstadt.

| + | I read a least a little of most of the blogs on the blogroll and many of them did not really hold my interest. The one that was most interesting to me was John Hennessy’s Mysteries and Conundrum’s blog that we talked about last class. A lot of the posts consist of looking at photos from the Civil War era and comparing them to modern day Fredericksburg. In one of the posts he is trying to figure out a “mystery” building which doesn’t appear on maps of the Fredericksburg buildings at the time. This building appears in a couple of pictures from across the river. –Megan Mc. | ||

| + | The other blog that caught my interest was the Crossroads one especially since the most recent post was on Black Confederates, a topic which we discussed in great detail Tuesday. It included two youtube videos that showed two African-Americans’ point of view on the Civil War and the Confederacy. Another post talks of how they are apparently shutting down or ‘evacuating’ Fort Sumter this year, the 150th anniversary. –Megan Mc. | ||
