ABOUT THIS WEB GUIDE

The material available on the Internet to scholars, teachers, students and the general public about Lincoln and his times is vast and varied. We at Middletown Thrall Library are presenting a small, select group of sites reflecting some of the most significant information and scholarship currently available. Every effort has been made to suggest useful sites with the full realization that there will always be both opposing historical viewpoints and an enormously large body of ever changing information out there. It remains the responsibility of the reader to sift through data, decide and evaluate content accuracy and determine what individual, institution, agency or organization has the best historical argument at any site.

SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES

Slavery, and the prejudice it fostered, remains the central tragedy of American history according to the scholarship that created this exhibit. You may want to sample some of the web sites that speak about this terrible institution.


THE CIVIL WAR

The Civil War (1861-1865) is arguably the seminal event in American history. The Internet resources on this subject are vast and varied, with information for both the casual high school student and the serious scholar/expert.
