Websites

The Bomb Dot Com

When you have yourname.com as your website, you know you're a big deal. (Ahem, Shmoop. Just saying.)

Shmooping the Civil War

Grahame-Smith provides lots of juicy Civil War details in Abraham Lincoln, but for more (and more accurate) info, check out Shmoop's guide to the Civil War.

That's What Friends Are For

As the book shows, Abe's relationships are a pretty important part of his life. This website nicely organizes and describes many of Abe's most important friendships. Kind of adorable, if you ask us.

A Guide to Graves

If you're thinking about taking a themed road-trip to visit the graves of everyone involved in Lincoln's assassination (which you obviously are), take a look at this database first, which gives you the info on where people are buried and how they died.

Ken Burns's The Civil War

We love us some Ken Burns. His Civil War series has everything, including lots of famous actors reading old letters. It's cool to hear olden days people's reactions to what's going on around them. Just imagine a few vampires here and there.

Cartoons from the Civil War

They didn't have the Internet back then, but they still shared lots of cartoons. Here's a collection of a bunch of editorial cartoons, showing the various reactions people had to Lincoln. (Warning: some of these cartoons could be considered super offensive today. But imagine how much worse it would be if the bad guys had won.)

Looking stoic, Abe. Just don't forget about the dry cleaners.
