The Civil War: Great Speeches and Documents

Memorable speeches, moving letters, and key reports are among the vital documents in this collection of historic records from the American Civil War.

Other highlights include "The War and How to End It," a lecture by Frederick Douglass; Robert E. Lee's farewell to the Army of Northern Virginia; and an eyewitness account of the clash between the Monitor and Merrimack.
