The civil war memory site is one that I came across many times when looking for a blog post, I never actually took the time to really look at it much beyond the first page because I was too busy on my quest for each weeks post however. Like Logan mentioned though the comments and posts on this site are well thought out and backed up, it's remarkable that I didn't think to browse over these posts for ideas or simply to learn more. - AJ | The civil war memory site is one that I came across many times when looking for a blog post, I never actually took the time to really look at it much beyond the first page because I was too busy on my quest for each weeks post however.

| + | I focused my attention to the religion category when looking over the "memoryblog". There really aren't many posts about that topic on the course blog in the resources and we haven't discussed the topic much in class. Levin makes several good points about religion on his posts that are clearly reflected in other discussions we've had even if they didn't have to do with religion directly. I think religion has particular importance in the memory of the war more so than during the war. During the war no one knew the outcome and so they just prayed for a victory. But after the loss for the South, I'm sure they questioned the results and how God played a part in it. I think religion has a lot to do with understanding an event after it's occurred and it would be an interesting area to focus on. In particular, Levin discusses the idea of the war being "punishment" for slavery. It would be interesting to look into that further. -Victoria Y. | ||
