Burkittsville, Maryland, a small town sandwiched between two civil war battlefields, is the setting for The Blair Witch Project, the pseudodocumentary/horror film that goes into general release this week. But get this through your heads, people While Burkittsville is real enough, the movie is a hoax. A fabrication. A FAKE. Law enforcement officials in Frederick County, where Burkittsville is situated, have been inundated by calls from moviegoers wanting to learn more about the evil, child-stealing witch who inhabits the area. Once again, folks, there is NO child-stealing witch. It's just a freakin' movie. Wired News

The United States Civil War
This site has information on the U.S. civil war and the people in it, as well as some of the battles fought.
http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/sw00/civilwar.html

Extractions: The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861 and ended on April 9, 1865. The Civil War started for many different reasons. One of the larger ones, however, was that abolitionists (people completely against slavery that felt it should be stopped immediately) were on the rise in the North. The majority of the North felt it should be stopped while the majority of the South wanted to preserve their way of life.

http://edweb.sdsu.edu/people/bdodge/scaffold/CW/warweb.html

Extractions: The American Civil War Homepage gathers together in one place hypertext links to the most useful identified electronic files about the American Civil War (1861-1865). The page opens a gateway to the Internet's multi-formatted resources about what is arguably the seminal event in American history. Not only was the War the occasion for the abolition of slavery, but by conflict's end the re-United States had emerged as a modern, industrialized power. It is this sense of history, transcending the stale recitation of dates and facts and alive with meaning, to which Lincoln referred when he wrote in 1862, "Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history." The links gathered in this Homepage are a metaphor for the interconnections of the War's past with our present and future. Thus, technology reveals the deep-structure of the human experience and helps to explain the continuing American fascination with the struggle between North and South, free and slave.

Guilford Greys
The Guilford Greys participate in civil war reenactments in the Carolinas and Virginia.
http://www.people-places.com/guilfordgreys

Extractions: Photos Our Federal Impression Read the latest issue of Greys Gazette , our Company newsletter "We entered the service in the bloom of youthful vigor and hope, with cheerful step and willing heart, leaving happy homes in peace and prosperity behind. We took the field for a principle as sacred as ever led a hero to the cannon's mouth, or a martyr to the place of execution. "This principle was honor and patriotism; a firm determination to defend to the last that constitution which our fathers had handed down and taught us to revere as the only safeguard of our personal rights and liberties." Captain John A. Sloan, Reminiscences of the Guilford Grays, Co. B, 27th N. C. Regiment "Greys" vs. "Grays" - As you visit this site you will notice the spelling of the word "Greys" will alternate for no apparent reason. When using a quote, the spelling employed by the author of the quote is the one used in that text. For ourselves, we have chosen to use the spelling "Greys" in our official company designation, as that is the way it is spelled on the company flag presented to the Guilford Greys by the ladies of the Edgeworth Female Academy in Greensboro, North Carolina, on May 5, 1860. This flag survived the War and is now in the possession of the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia. It was given to the Museum in 1896 by the wife of Captain John A. Sloan of the Guilford Greys, one of the only 13 remaining men in the company who surrendered at Appomattox. The Museum restored the flag in 1998.

Sullivan Ballou Early in the Civil War, Sullivan Ballou, from Providence, Rhode Island, enlisted in the Union army. While stationed outside Washington, D.C., while awaiting orders which would take him to the First Battle of Bull Run, he sat down and wrote the most beautiful letter to his wife. In this letter he talked of many things, the Union, democracy, and the love of his wife and children, but also in writing it, he predicted his own death. A harrowing letter everyone should read!

Extractions: Brothers Bound A Source Page for Information on the Civil War Era Prisoner of War Experience One of the darker sides of this war was the fate of those people, men and some women, captured and taken prisoner in the line of duty. Conditions in these institutions were often terrible, in both Confederate and Union facilities. About 56,000 men were prisoners of war, and it is estimated that about 14% of all captives died while incarcerated. This site is dedicated to the memories of all our ancestors whose lives were touched by these dark places, and we hope to shed some light on a subject that is often neglected.

http://www.swcivilwar.com/

Extractions: Literally thousands of books have been written on the single subject, or some detail of the subject of the American Civil War. I do not propose to write another one here. I cannot expect to entirely do justice to an event in American history which defined us as a people and redefined the country as a Nation, rather than as a mere experiment in Federal Republicanism. The war profoundly changed the people who endured it. Those changes remain very much with us today. Its conclusion established the supremacy of the authority of the Federal government over that of the individual states, ended the institution of slavery, and stimulated the industrial growth and prosperity of the entire country. The cast of characters, the violent clash of opposing beliefs, and the huge stakes involved in the outcome make the Civil War a drama which is hard to ignore for anyone interested in our history. What have I to add the din of 50,000 authors that could be new or worthwhile?
