What Started the Civil War
Tuesday, April 30, 2024 | 1:00 pm - 03:00 PM | Map It
Immerse yourself in the time period of our Founder of the Year, Isrel Blodgett, as we investigate the causes of the Civil War.
Since the Civil War began, there has been confusion and misinformation about its political and social causes- yet these conversations often leave out what people actually said and did at the time.
Join Christian McWhirter, Lincoln Historian for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, for an examination of primary sources from the Civil War and what they tell us about the causes of America’s greatest conflict.
FREE.
