The result was merge to Antebellum Age. Spartaz Humbug! 19:18, 23 August 2009 (UTC) reply
Irrecoverable melange of several topics smushed together into an article titled with an adjective. "Antebellum" is a descriptive word, not a concept (which is probably why the article jumps around to so many different topics). Its content is largely unreferenced; what information is referenced belongs in (and is covered in) other articles. We already have an article on the time period, Antebellum Age, so this page is unneeded. Powers T 02:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC) reply
I found this entry with a Google search for "antebellum", as I didn't know what this word meant and it wasn't in my old Concise Oxford Dictionary. The word "antebellum" is used at the start of the fourth section of chapter one of "Dreams from my Father" by Barack Obama. The "Antebellum" Wikipedia entry told me just what I needed to know. I probably wouldn't have followed a link to "Antibellum Age" and would have looked elsewhere. Thanks to all for Wikipedia and all your work, Clark Killick. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.29.173 ( talk) 09:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC) reply
