General information for the Civil War enthusiast

It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it -- General Robert E. Lee, to Gen. James Longstreet during the Battle of Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862.

Before the war, it was said, "The United States are ..." Gramatically, it was spoken that way and thought of as a collection of independent states. After the war it was always "The United States is ..." -- as we say today without being self-conscious at all. And that sums up what the war accomplished. It made us an "is." -- Shelby Foote, Interview, The Civil War: An Illustrated History, 1990.
