1863: Year of Confederate Reckoning

Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park

Description

Join Dr. Stephanie McCurry for this virtual talk exploring the state of the Confederate national experiment in the spring of 1863. Dr. McCurry discusses how disenfranchised people in the Confederacy – particularly enslaved people and white women – brought their political voices to bear on the war effort. How did instability within the Confederacy impact the evolution of the war itself? Could another military victory salvage the struggling nation?
