In this engrossing symposium, seven dynamic historians will unpack the military, political, and social threads of pivotal year in the US Civil War — and in our nation’s history.
The United States experienced a bloody and decisive civil war from 1861 to 1865. The enslavement of forcibly immigrated Africans was the root cause with branches touching on religion, economics, race, power and the relationship between the individual states and the federal government. Pro-slavery states ceded and formed a confederacy while remaining states are referred to as the Union. Pittsburgh provided a significant source of personnel, war equipment, armament, ammunition and supplies to the Union Army.
Representatives from Arsenal Cider — Pittsburgh’s Civil War-themed hard cider distillery — will be on hand Friday evening for tastings and bottle sales.
