Battle Of Chancellorsville So sit back and enjoy and watch a great piece of American history come to life before your civil war Poll . Did the South have a chance to win the war? http://members.tripod.com/~Andrew_Dehart/
Extractions: "The Last Meeting" Welcome to the Battle of Chancellorsville Homepage. If you are a serious student of The Civil War, then you've come to the right place. I offer a detailed account of the battle regarded by many historians as "Lee's Greatest Victory." You will find a full-length summary of Chancellorsville, plus a brief analysis of it's strategic impact on the war. This battle was unlike any other during the war. This was in part due to the maneuvering through what seemed to be landscape inpregnable to maneuver. The mind and methods of Napoleon Bonaparte also played a pivotal role. Without the lessons of "central position" it is unlikely that Lee would have chosen to stay and fight. "Fightin'" Joe Hooker's movement up the Rappahannock River was taken right out of the Corsican's playbook as well. It was fought from May 1-5, 1863, and when it was all over, more than 30,000 Americans were either killed, captured, or wounded at Chancellorsville. But the loss of one man was irreplaceable to the Confederacy; Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. His tragic death marked the beginning of the end for the elite level of commanders in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.

Olustee/Travel/ A Brief history of the Battle of Olustee, February 20, 1864. The Battle of Olustee or Ocean Pond was the the largest and bloodiest civil war Battle in Florida. http://greenlightwrite.com/olusteetravel.htm
Extractions: Gone With The Wind ... pages I had been to theme parks where knights joust, seen dozens of movies depicting scenes of war, but never had personally experienced any battle reenactments. I had no real idea of what the sights and sounds of this often lethal action were like until I attended the annual reenactment Civil War Battle of Olustee , held every February in Olustee, Florida. The efforts of the reenactors are so realistic, you unwittingly discover yourself ducking for cover. The cannon and rifle fire bombard your ears. The smell of gunpowder invades your nostrils. The screams of the men fighting and dying make you almost feel their pain. While the horses rear up with terror in their eyes, the smoke rings drift past like the white halos of invisible angels watching over the sad spectacle. The participants are dedicated beyond measure. They dress history, talk history and eat history. These devoted men and woman and, often, their children, spend their own funds to present physical and spiritual history from the 1860s.

And some information was never written down and was lost when those who took part in the events died. Even when records have survived, they may often be difficult to access. Computers and the Internet are relatively recent developments in the long histories of towns and regions even in the United States, and much material is still in paper form. It may be safely stored at a courthouse, museum or library, or it may be sitting in someone's attic or storeroom. Its owner may understand its value, or may not ever realize what they have or that it might be of any significant historic interest. As a result, frequently the Internet can only serve as a pointer to the vast mass of material that still remains in non-electronic form. Getting down to the details often requires accessing material via inter library loan or even by actual visit to the nearest courthouse, library or archive that holds the material. That being said, there is still a vast amount of material on the Internet and the volume grows steadily every day. Important Sources of Local History Information: US GenWeb and other Genealogy pages: The US GenWeb project has a page for every county in the United States. Although the overall focus of the project is on genealogy, there is often a great deal of historical material included in the pages. Usually the county page also has information about local historical societies, libraries, and museum. Other genealogy sites may also provide useful historical information.
Memorial Day At Barbara's Entourage United States civil war. The civil war (18611865) took more American lives than any other war in history. It so divided the people http://www.entourages.com/barbs/memorialday.htm
Extractions: Make Barbara's Entourage my Home Page MEMORIAL DAY Memorial Day is a very patrotic day in the United States. It's the day we honor all Americans who have given their life for their country. It originally was started to honor the military personnel who lost their lives in the Civil War of 1861-1865, but was later changed to honor all who gave their life in any war for the country. Memorial Day is a legal holiday in most states. Most states observe the holiday on the last Monday in May. This date was made a federal holiday by law in 1971. The Southern states have different days to honor their dead from the Confederate War, calling it the Confederate Memorial Day. Alabama celebrates on the fourth Monday in April. Georgia observes the holiday on April 26. Mississippi celebrates the last Monday in April. North Carolina and South Carolina celebrate it on May 10. Virginia observes the holiday on the last Monday in May. Louisiana observes it on June 3. Also, on that date, Tennessee observes Confederate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day on January 19. Remember Me

Extractions: Nestled among the rolling hills and mountains of Catoosa County in Georgia - just a short trip from Chattanooga, TN and a shorter trip from Fort Oglethorpe, GA - is the home of The Great New York Flea Market. Yes. That's right. The Great NEW YORK Flea Market. Not what you'd expect for the small Southern town of Ringgold, GA. But there it is. Packed with junk. In fact, in this episode of Junkin' , Dave coins the term 'high junk density' - a sale area that is highly organized and packed with stuff...thus containing more junk per square inch. Kind of fitting when you think of the density of life in New York City...packed with people and skyscrapers and junk. So forget about traveling all the way to Time Square - go to Ringgold, GA. It may seem like a small town now, but back in 1849 Ringgold was larger than Chattanooga. That's because it was a warehouse town located at the intersection of three major roads. While you're there, you can visit The Ringgold Railroad Depot. This stone building saw a lot of action during the Civil War; in fact, the Great Locomotive Chase that happened during The War Between the States ended just north of Ringgold. You might just come across some monuments to the men who fought in that war if you go hiking in the woods around the depot.

Visitors would never know that this quaint little town was once at the mercy of the Civil War as it and its townsfolk have picked themselves up by the bootstraps to create a haven of beautiful horticulture, lots of laughs, good food, educational landmarks, and great shopping. On Day one of their weekend of discovery, the Kanistrauss's settled into the Namaste Acres Country Ranch Inn, a favorite for travelers because of its balanced offering of a reminder of simpler times coupled with all of today's conveniences. After settling into one of the many themed rooms - with names like the cowboy's bunkhouse or frontier cabin - the couple got their first taste of Franklin hospitality as a neighbor loaned them his '66 Cadillac for an afternoon of scenic driving down Natchez Trace Parkway, an old Indian -trail-turned-historic-highway which connects Nashville and Natchez, M.S. in 444 miles. Todd and Autumn continue learning as they catch up with the folks at the Heritage Foundation for tours in historic downtown. Then, it is off to Mayfield-Walker Galleries for European antiques shopping and the Riverside Antiques and Home Decor boutique.

Extractions: Chinese History - Han Dynasty After a short civil war, a new dynasty, called Han (206 B.C.-A.D. 220), emerged with its capital at Chang'an ( Under the Han rulers, science and technology made remarkable strides; paper, the compass, and the seismograph were invented; and steel was manufactured. The empire expanded into southern China, northern Vietnam and parts of Korea, and forged trade routes through Central Asia to India and Persia. Confucianism was reinterpreted and adopted as the official state ideology, and a national university was established for the training of Confucian officials. The political unity of the Qin was preserved, but sanctioned by Confucianism so that Chinese of today still look back on this epoch with pride and call themselves "men of Han." Diversity developed within the culture: native and foreign, Confucian and Taoist, courtly and popular. After 200 years, Han rule was interrupted briefly (in AD 9-24 by Wang Mang, a reformer), and then restored for another 200 years. The Han rulers, however, were unable to adjust to what centralization had wrought a growing population, increasing wealth and resultant financial difficulties and rivalries and ever-more complex political institutions. Riddled with the corruption characteristic of the dynastic cycle, by AD 220 the Han empire collapsed.

Extractions: Chinese History - Tang Dynasty The Tang dynasty (A.D. 618-907), with its capital at Chang'an By the middle of the eighth century A.D., Tang power had ebbed. Domestic economic instability and military defeat in 751 by Arabs at Talas, in Central Asia, marked the beginning of five centuries of steady military decline for the Chinese empire. Misrule, court intrigues, economic exploitation, and popular rebellions weakened the empire, making it possible for northern invaders to terminate the dynasty in 907. The next half century saw the fragmentation of China into five northern dynasties and ten southern kingdoms. The Tang are considered to be one of the great dynasties of Chinese history; many historians rank them right behind the Han. They extended the boundaries of China through Siberia in the North, Korea in the east, and were in what is now Vietnam in the South. They even extended a corridor of control along the Silk Road well into modern-day Afghanistan. There are two interesting historical things about the Tang. The first is the Empress Wu, the only woman ever to actually bear the title 'Emperor' (or, in her case, Empress). The second was the An Lushan Rebellion, which marked the beginning of the end for the Tang.

Copenhagen, Denmark - History - BootsnAll.com of Copenhagen By Philip Blazdell. Little is known of Danish history before the age of After Canute s death, Denmark fell into a period of turmoil and civil war. http://www.bootsnall.com/europetravelguides/copen/history.shtml
Extractions: After Canute's death, Denmark fell into a period of turmoil and civil war. Later, Waldemar (1157-82) and Waldemar II (1202-41) were energetic rulers who established Danish hegemony over Northern Europe. With the end of the Viking raids and the development of a strong and independent church, the nobles were able to impose their will on the weaker kings. In 1282, Eric V (1259-86) was forced to submit to the Great Charter, which established annual parliaments and a council of nobles who shared the king's power. This form of government persisted until 1660. Wadlermar III (1340-75) again brought Danish power to a high point, but he was humiliated by the Hanseatic League in the Treaty of Stralsund (1370). Waldemar's daughter, Queen Margaret, achieved (1397) the union of the Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish crowns. Sweden soon escaped effective Danish rule, and with the accession (1523) of Gustavus I of Sweden the union was dissolved. However, the union with Norway lasted until 1814.
