Just a quick post to provide you with a link to a great collection of videos related to the Civil War.  The Teaching Future Historians website has a wide range of videos that you can download and use in your classroom.  The topics of the videos range from Abraham Lincoln to Civil War era religion and culture.  All of the videos are done by noted historians, so check them out.  The other main point is that most of these videos are short so they can be used as anticipatory items for a lesson.
