The online exhibit A House Divided: America in the Age ofLincoln is base on the book of the
same title by Eric Foner and Olivia Mahoney. The exhibit is broken into
the same sections as the book Lincoln’s America; Slavery; Slavery Debate;
Impending Crisis; Civil War; War, Politics & Society; and Aftermath.
Each section of the exhibit has a great introduction section
followed by the exhibit artifacts. For artifacts they did a great job of using 3-d
objects, newspapers, photographs and other ephemera. Each artifact can be
enlarged and includes a wonderful description.
Overall the site is a great example of an online exhibit. I
think that most age groups could enjoy the site and learn from it.
