At which the civil war is still very much a part of living memory. Right . There are livingductions of the war, people involved in combat who are still alive. In 1912, state of pennsylvania issued an invitation of honorably discharged veterans of the civil war to come to gettysburg for a reunion of sorts. And you probably have already seen pictures of this or read about it in David Wrights book. I want to spend a little time talking about that. That marked something of the high water mark. It wa...

This class is about one hour and 10 minutes. Ok. So in getting ready for this, i wanted to do like a little background work on the socalled semicentennial of the civil war, which was of course 1911 to 1915. I found this quote.

I was going to say its just like this movement challenging so many aspects of the government, people could misconstrue especially if they didnt understand it, they could be easily swayed by the media giving wrong information and not the full picture. They did focus a lot on problems. It was like a big group not a group but like a handful of problems they were all striving for. It was a lot ...
