This photo essay features significant places relevant to the Civil War, organized in chronological order by occurrence of the historical event. The first page shows an image from Harpers Ferry where the pre-Civil War incident of John Brown's Raid took place, adding fuel to the topics of slavery and states rights—causes that increasingly divided the nation. The War would break out a year-and-a-half later, ending after four tumultuous years. The last page of this essay includes monuments in Georgia and Virginia.
