About The Civil War Project (TCWP)
The Civil War Project (TCWP) was created and launched in April 2011 by Carrie Suntken. Fueled by an avid passion for this crucial time in United States history, this site is set to explore the American Civil War in conjunction with the 165th anniversary (2026-2030). Since the lead-up is just as important as the war itself, in 2024 there will be weekly video recaps focusing on the people & events starting with 1859.
The goal of TCWP is to educate and provide a view of history that is often fragmented or ignored. Though battles and other major events will be explored, the primary focus will be on individuals from all parts of society and how their beliefs, actions, etc. affected their loved ones, fellow citizens and most importantly how it affected them as a person. While some individuals played prominent roles in history, the roles of lesser known individuals will not be minimized here.
While TCWP was started by one individual, it is hoped that through time it will become a thriving community. I welcome your feedback, and if you wish to contribute content or ideas please contact me at [email protected].
I welcome you to the site and hope that you will follow us as we attempt to gain a new perspective on people and events, and gain a better understanding of the Civil War. Thank you for stopping by!
