The Southern Homefront, 1861-1865: Education

Posted as part of the Documenting the American South project (see the April 18, 1997 Scout Report), this Website offers primary documents relating to efforts by the Confederacy to shape its own educational system. The site includes .html versions of period textbooks such as The First Dixie Reader; Designed to Follow the Dixie Primer and First Book in Composition, Applying the Principles of Grammar to the Art of Composing: Also, Giving Full Directions for Punctuation; Especially Designed for the Use of Southern Schools. These texts include online illustrations, frontispieces, and cover pages. There are five complete education texts in all and the text of a bill to provide for the establishment of graded schools in North Carolina. The documents are also available in SGML/TEI file for use with Panorama. Note: when we visited the site, texts loaded very slowly.
