The American Civil War — an animated map on Erask

Every battle the National Park Service classified — three hundred and eighty-four of them, each on the day it was fought, coloured by who won. The Union front is not drawn: it is computed from those victories, advancing through the Confederacy as they accumulate, until at Appomattox the red is gone and there is one country again.
