Civil war research, writing, sharing.

Each group will have one blog.  -- but you can give permission for team mates to post your blog, or the designated recorder will just get email from the other people, create a blog post, and paste in their work.

Each group member will pick one unique topic.  A couple paragraphs is all I'm looking for.  Cool things you didn't know about are the goal.

Here are some possible starting points. (Actually, your book is a great starting point).
