Smart Animation Taught Me More About the Civil War Than History Class

I’m pretty sure I could pass a high school history test about the Civil War armed with only the knowledge that was dropped on me from watching this highly entertaining 10-minute animation from John D. Ruddy. I’m actually halfway certain I would do better on that test after watching this YouTube video than I would have if I read a sterile textbook.

The kids just have it so easy these days. Enjoy the history lesson, folks. The cartoon drawings are fun too.
