Picture
There are so many more ways to study history than looking at simply military, nation-state analysis. This site addresses other tools historians use to investigate world history, such as the frameworks of geography and chronology. A geographical area can be used to explore commonalities across political borders to discover the effect of trade, disease, and migration. Included in this unit are readings, resources, maps, audio clips, a video to watch, as well as a transcript of the video. Pertinent questions and activities are also provided.

Professor Adam Goodheart's blog, Disunion, covers the American Civil War as if it were a real-time event, unfolding today. Goodheart's been using Civil War Era journalism as one of his primary sources and says that blogging the war gives his readers a sense of immediacy that a traditional history book can't provide.
