"One of my favorite US History resources"
"One of my favorite US History resources.....my students absolutely loved the animations complete with their sound effects and marching visuals." -
"Something Different"
"These animations can be used in many ways from providing students with something different than just reading about a battle to using them as discussion starters on why a battle happened the way it did." -
"Surprisingly detailed depiction .... and really well done"
"this is a surprisingly detailed depiction... and really well done....The site is really professionally done and will appeal to anyone who is new to a particular battle or campaign. The moving animation provides a teaching tool which is more difficult with only text and still maps. " -

"You could read several books and never get the same comprehension of the overall battles as with these animations." -
"Start Exploring"
"Get the children excited. Let them start exploring the Civil War sites before you even hit the road. Check out civilwaranimated.com to preview the battlefields."
