Washington Post Tweets the Civil War

As a contribution to the American Civil War Sesquicentennial commemoration, the Washington Post has been running a series of articles. In early December 2010, it began tweeting reports (military reports, quotes from politicians, excerpts from letters and telegrams) of the build-up to the war, focusing upon Charleston and Fort Sumter.

"On the day of the Civil War event, hear words from the people who lived them."
