Testimonies from - and about - a region divided. At The Washington Post, the Civil Conflict has presented an enduring fascination for both readers and freelance writers. Raging from 1861-1865, the Battle Between the Areas has left a prolonged imprint on the United Areas' collective psyche for 150 years. Civil Conflict Testimonies: A 150th Anniversary Collection aggregates historical data with modern-day reflections, as journalists and historians place the bloody conflict into context:

• A timeline of Lincoln's candidacy and what may have occurred if he previously lost the election
• An ode to Western world Virginia, which deserted Virginia somewhat than secede from the Union
• The hurdles confronted by emancipated slaves
• Women in the federal government workforce and disguised as men on the battlefields
• The modern anti-slavery crusade of Frederick Douglass' great-great-great-grandson

Personal reviews of tragedy and triumph still resonate today. From biographical histories to examinations of the war's legacies, Civil Conflict Testimonies: A 150th Anniversary Collection is a distinctive compilation of reviews of when our region was divided.
