		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that approximately 180,000 African Americans comprising 163 units served in the Union Army during the Civil War?

On this day, the state convention was reluctantly called by Governor Sam Houston, a Texan military hero who had led the battle that gained Texas her independence. It voted all but unanimously to secede from the Union. The slave-owning [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Lincoln was getting irritated. The war had been declared, and yet Federal forces showed little enthusiasm for joining battle with the Confederates. A few bloody noses, though painful, were no excuse, in his mind, to let up on the pressure. On January 27th, 1862, Lincoln had finally had enough reluctance from his commanders, especially [...]]]></description>

The Crittenden compromise, though proposed after four states had already seceded from the Union, was meant to prevent an all-out war between the Union and Confederacy. The proposed compromise would consist of a series of constitutional amendments that would [...]]]></description>
