Civil War E-course Can Add to Your Vacation Plans

Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.,

It is summertime, and that means family vacations and road trips. Many families will be heading out to our national parks, including sites dedicated to the Civil War. These sites are likely to be particularly busy this year, because 2011 marks the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.

There are over 70 parks in the National Park System related to the history of the Civil War. Many parks are having special events and exhibits to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. For more information, please visit www.nps.gov/civilwar150/.

The Eppley Institute for Parks and Public Lands at Indiana University released a free e-course, Causes of the Civil War, this year as well. Taking this course either before or after your vacation can add to your experiences at Civil War sites. The course focuses on the political and social issues that revolved around the topic of slavery from the 1840s through the 1860s.

Activities and links to an interactive forum are included as well. This course can help both teenagers and adults better understand the causes of the Civil War. Visit Causes of the Civil War to enroll in this free program today!
