Harpers Weekly? Once a week is that to much? Hmm. Harper's Weekly is available on line. From 1858. The Lincoln-Douglas debates began in August 1858. Recordings of reenactments of those debates are also available. We could have a really good 7-year journey through the War Between the States, Week by week or month by month, depending on the slow periods. Three years to prepare gives us time to get up to speed by reading up on the background history. I'm down for it! Now we just need to identify a facilitator. It wouldn't be nearly as labor intensive as my WWII thing if everybody contributed the materials.
What do y'all think?

It would be awesome, as long as the project isn’t too taxing on you.

Doing Harper's for the Civil War starting in 1858 with the Lincoln-Douglas debates would be fantastic!

Hmmm....I don’t know. Could lead to a revival of the practice of dueling.

The War of Northern Aggression can spark some heated exchanges here, and expect push back on the Yankee spin of Harpers, but it should be highly educational for those who didn’t grow up learning about ‘the’ war.

Sounds good!
Back at University of Michigan they had the entire set of volumes back to 1858. Always good ready for a break from studies.
