2011 is the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, which many say should really be called the War Between the States which it actually was when one really thinks about it. Besides that, the fact that the Union was preserved through it is the biggest positive fact as well as the end of slavery.
The bungling in the Peninsula Campaign should not have occurred & from reading about it, perhaps it could have been finished right there. Hindsight is 20-20 though.
I understand that there will be tremendous re-enactment programs held in Gettysburgh, PA and other areas that were the scene of the tremendous battles.
