It is a pretty cool site. The have short cartoon movies for students to watch about different subjects. After watching the movies the students can do follow up activities like take quizzes, make charts, see timelines, see a list of FAQ about the topic, and access a whole bunch of other facts about that topic.
It's a great resource for students.
I signed up for free access to parts of the site. However, the rest of it costs money. I can see about 3 free movies per subject, get graphic organizers, and see some of the extras. If I wanted to sign up myself for classroom use it would be $195 (multiple computers can access) or say, a parent wants to sign up for it to use at home it would cost $99 (one computer use).
Here is a link to one of the movies about the Civil War. It should work for everyone.
