The Telegraph: The Civil War Text Machine

Military leaders didn’t just rely on carrier pigeons and messengers on horseback to share information during the American Civil War – they texted each other using telegrams! Untold is a free collection of short, compelling, history videos and animations designed to engage new audiences in a new conversation and shine a light on the stories that don’t always make it into the classroom and question what we think we know about those that do. Untold is here to fill in the gaps and bring new stories to life. Check out untoldhistory.org Follow Untold on Instagram:   / untoldedu   Facebook:   / untoldedu   Twitter:   / untoldedu
