The "Crisis at Fort Sumter" Program
This is a site done by Richard B. Latner, Department of History,
Tulane University. Crisis at Fort Sumter is an interactive, multimedia, decision-making
program that recreates the events and decisions that led to the firing on Fort Sumter and
the beginning of the Civil War. The program features video, still images, maps, music,
text, and hypertext to convey information and bring immediacy to the events surrounding
Fort Sumter.
The program's special focus is the series of decisions made by Lincoln from the time he
was elected President in November 1860 through the secession crisis in the winter and
spring of 1861.
Crisis at Fort Sumter possesses a number of interactive features to strengthen critical
and analytical skills. Users are asked at each of the five main junctures, called
"Problems," what they would do if they were in Lincoln's position and why they
would choose such a course of action. The program provides a "Blue Book" in
which students can write their answers, or they may utilize a word processing program on
the computer. It also has a "Notebook" for note taking. Both the
"Notebook" and "Blue Book" features place information on a floppy
disk.
