## What is House Divided?

The Civil War was not a single event. It was a chain of decisions, compromises, and reckonings that built up over decades. House Divided lets you follow that whole chain, one Moment at a time, in the order that it happened.

From the three-fifths compromise written into the Constitution to the surrender at Appomattox and the unfinished work of Reconstruction, House Divided tells the story of the Civil War in 152 Moments across seven movements:

I. The Compromised Republic
II. Breakdown
III. Disunion
IV. And the War Came
V. A New Birth of Freedom
VI. The Hard Hand of War
VII. Reckoning

Each Moment is a single, self-contained chapter, short enough to read in one sitting, and built to be returned to.

WHAT EACH MOMENT HOLDS

Every Moment is drawn from the historical record and paired with the images and voices of the people who were there:

- A clear, careful account of what happened and why it mattered
- Original artifacts and period art: paintings, photographs, and prints from the great archives
- Firsthand voices: soldiers, the enslaved, presidents, and eyewitnesses in their own words
- Maps that place each Moment on the ground where it happened

TEST WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED

The Quiz turns reading into study. Questions are drawn from the Moments themselves, and every answer links straight back to the source it came from, so a missed question becomes the next thing you read. It's the difference between a book you finish and a subject you actually learn.

BUILT FOR STUDENTS, AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT PERIOD IN AMERICAN HISTORY

House Divided is a study aid first. If you're meeting the Civil War in school, it gives you the whole arc in order, the primary sources behind the textbook, and a way to check what's stuck. For teachers and parents, it's a calm, rigorous companion to the eighth-grade and high-school US History classroom. And for anyone who has ever wanted to truly understand how the country came apart - and how it was put back together - House Divided is the place to begin.

DRAWN FROM THE RECORD

The narrative is written in plain, unhurried prose. The artifacts come from the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery, the Smithsonian, and other public collections. Nothing is invented. The artifacts and voices are real.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No data collected from anyone, especially students. House Divided asks nothing of you but your attention.

The first five Moments are free. A single one-time purchase unlocks all 152 Moments and every feature forever, with no subscription. Family Sharing supported.
