A time when we created more positive and (un)common change than ever before or ever since in history was from 1861 to 1865. From its sadness and loss emerged an educated population who went on to use what they learned at a time when change came from painful consequences. New ideas emerged in technology, government, economy and medicine. It was truly the end of one era but the beginning of another. As the door to one primitive way of life closed, the doors to a modern way of life opened. By choosing to adapt, embrace, revise and remain strong many chose to look beyond the troubled times and use what they learned to make positive and innovative changes. Although their ideas at the time may have seemed small, in reality many of their so-called small ideas are still in use today and have revolutionized industry.
