The Discovering the Civil War exhibit showed some of the lesser-known records surrounding the American Civil War.  These documents include personal testimony from soldiers and slaves, and drafts of some of the Reconstruction Amendments to the Constitution.

Discovering the Civil War

Chief of Reference at the National Archives Trevor Plante takes viewers inside the Archives vaults to see some of his favorite rarely-displayed documents. They include the original text of the "Virginia Plan," which proposed three co-equal branches of government; a printed copy of the Constitution with George Washington's handwritten annotations; the final printed copy of the Constitution; and the state of Pennsylvania's ratification copy of the Constitution, which is on one enormous sheet of parchment.

A very informative look at the national archives. It would have been nice if the 4th post about the Constitution had video, which it sounds like it is supposed to. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars.
