There are untold numbers on this subject.  It is one of the most popular historical subjects to write about.\n\nThey approach this from many different perspectives and not knowing your personal interests, it is difficult to suggest the best books:   \n\nFrom my own library, a short, short list.  Some will be at 500 pages or less and some won’t.\n\nThe Civil War, An Illustrated History - by Geoffrey C. Ward.\n\nDon’t know much about the Civil War – by Kenneth C. Davis\n\nAbraham Lincoln (the War Years, 1861 - 1864) by Carl Sandburg\n\nBattle Cry of Freedom, the Civil War Era by James M. Mcpherson\n\nThe Coming Fury\nNever Call Retreat\nA stillness at Appomattox\nTerrible Swift Sword\nThe Hallowed Ground\nAll by Bruce Catton\n\nEmancipating Slaves, Enslaving Free Men – Jeffrey Rogers Hummel\n\nThe Civil War – Shelby Foote

Try "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White. Dynamite book. It's a fictional account, but it's an excellent read. For non-fiction, try "Pendragon: The Definitive Account of the Origins of Arthur" by Blake and Lloyd. It's got a ton of Arthurian info.

It depends on what kind of info you want.  Look up the info on the internet as suggested in a previous answer and then, if you want the real deal, visit Civil War battlefields - Gettysburg, Petersburg, Atlanta, Vicksburg, etc.  All those battlefields have park rangers who could probably answer any question you might have.  That would give you multiple sources for a bibliography, too (internet, personal interview, books you might purchase in the gift shop, etc.).  Plus, if you go to the battlefield, you can get great pictures to go along with a report if that's what you're working on.

Well I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're looking for, but one thing you might do if you're making a display of movies made about the civil war, is find pictures of the movie posters of VHS/DVD covers and print them out and put them on some poster board or some display.  Then maybe talk about what the movies were about exactly and what you felt about them.\n\nNow if it's about the making of the movies, you might want to go to IMDB.com and see if the movies have websites you could check out.  Sometimes websites have stuff about production and how they made it and behind the scenes stuff that might help.  It's worth a shot.\n\nI hope this helped some

I can't believe that someone is asking this question.  Are you American?  Have you never heard of that horrible thing called the "Civil War"?  It's a shame people are so uninterested in American history, especially history that reshaped our country.\nGet a book and read it.\nWhile you are reading that book, you might want to look at a dictionary so you can find the correct spelling of the word "what".  I know, it's a tough one.
