The idea behind Video History Today is to give schools the raw material to make mini-documentaries and video essays on historical subjects.

No.
Does not the phrase “final surrender” imply that Lee surrendered at least once before this one? Anyway, this was the surrender of Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. There were a number of other Southern armies that had yet to surrender. Johnston surrendered to Sherman in Durham, NC on April 26 making that the final surrender of Southern Forces.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
