Essential Civil War Curriculum
If you are an historian or author and would like to contribute, please submit a proposal to us by email. Our authors benefit from improved exposure of their published material to a wider audience through SEO to help obtain higher search rankings. Since each topic now has a unique URL, authors are able to embed links in a CV, email or classroom materials for direct access to the published topic.
We are looking for content, so please keep us in mind. Future improvements will include social media outreach and the introduction of a Civil War blog.
Please feel free to send your feedback and suggestions to help us continually improve.
