Make History

History With RCS:  Not just the past. The past is not just.    

 

                Who might be interested in "maritime" disasters. A shipping company executive?

                Who might be interested in histories of civil war? A citizen of a divided country?

                What is the record for the number of deaths in the sinking of a 'ship?' During the time of the US Civil War the vessel Sultan went don in the Mississippi on way from Vicksburg to Memphis. It is said that 1800 died when she sank. Is that a record?

                Vicksburg is a well known Southern city of of Civil War days and of today. That once Confederate city, was occupied by Union troops from 1863 to 1877. Is that a record?                  

                When did Grant received Lee's sword at Appomattox? Why might this question be appropriate at this time?

                Everything on the WWW is history. Not all history is on the WWW. Not all the past is history. Why not?
