The first Blog I looked at was underneath the Cosmic America section, which I was wondering what the heck it even was, entitled "Straight From the Department of Bad Ideas…", and it holds up to its title. It discusses a elementary school teacher who decided it would be a great idea to celebrate the sesquicentennial by dividing her class up in black and white sections and holding a mock slave auction. Mind you this is an elementary school class, not a college or even high school level class, and this was done by a teacher in Norfolk. I found the story very interesting, and the teacher retarded, partially because I never heard about it. The comments on the blog tend to hold my sentiments. - AJ | The first Blog I looked at was underneath the Cosmic America section, which I was wondering what the heck it even was, entitled "Straight From the Department of Bad Ideas…", and it holds up to its title.

| + | The blog-site entitled "Draw the Sword" is a site devoted to the monuments of the Gettysburg battlefield. It has a page devoted to answering FAQ's on monuments, a page to provide an introductions to monuments in general, and, of course, many pages of pictures of almost each individual monument at gettysburg. You can search the monuments by brigades/armies, corps, commanding officers, and Monument type. I'm not going to lie, the name of the Blog was far more interesting to me than the actual site was, however the project that is being undergone by this site is good for digital history, like what we were talking about on tuesday. - AJ | ||
