This Memorial Day weekend, Bing Travel takes a closer look at some of the most intriguing Civil War sites around the country. One hundred fifty years ago, the United States was plunging inexorably into the Civil War, in which more than 600,000 Americans died — almost as many as all other U.S. wars combined. Timed to coincide also with the sesquicentennial events that kick off this month all around the park system, this new slide show by Eric Lucas starts, appropriately, in Washington D.C.: “There is no more meaningful place to start — or finish — measuring the weight of America’s worst war than the beautiful monument to Abraham Lincoln that anchors one end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. And to consider Lincoln’s charge at Gettysburg, which still rings today: “…To be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus nobly advanced.”
