The Civil War In Four Minutes

If you haven't seen this video on Youtube yet, get over there. How creative!

That is SO cool!

See it soon folks, You Tube intends to delete it (for "legal reasons" (?)).

Saw it at Springfield. Awesome. Had to watch it three times to get it all, and then I'm sure I missed something. Watching the "controlled" territory bulge and then recede, and recede during the four minutes imprints the whole of the war into that four minutes.

I'm sure the folks at the Lincoln Museum and Library would prefer to have you visit rather than watch it on UTube. Haven't seen the UTube version, but it can't possibly approach the wall-sized screen of the original. Do catch it on UTube while you can. If you do, you're certain to want to stop at Springfield to see the original and the many, many more presentations and exhibits. One day is both not enough and too much. So much to absorb!

The ebbs and flows are most interesting. It also is a great illustration of the theory that the South was defeated chiefly by the Army of the Tennessee. The AOP was primarily a defensive force protecting Washington D.C.
