Welcome to The Civil War Project, a site dedicated to an ongoing exploration of the American Civil War, focused on the people who lived through it, the places where their lives unfolded, and the events that shaped the course of the war.
I’m Carrie, and The Civil War Project is a personal initiative born from a lifelong fascination with Civil War history and a deep respect for the people who lived through it.
I’ve spent much of my life reading a wide range of books, studying original historical sources that are publicly available, and exploring museums and historic places across the country. My goal is simply to share what I’ve learned, and continue to learn, in a way that is relatable, meaningful, and accurate.
Above all, I want to help make history feel human again and invite others to explore, question, and connect with the past in a deeper way.
I hope the videos here help you feel more connected to the past, that the places shared inspire you to experience history in person, and that the reviews offer pathways for learning more.
Welcome to the TCWP community. I’m very glad you’re here.
