Description
Welcome to the Civil War Book Group!
After years of conflict over the institution of slavery, the Civil War would be the turning point that set the course of the United States into the 20th century and beyond. Join us on the first Thursday of each month as we explore the meaning of the Civil War and how the past has shaped who we are today through a diverse selection of narratives, novels, and histories. In partnership with the Central Rappahannock Regional Library.
For November:
American Slavery, American Freedom by Edmund Morgan
6 pm-7 pm
Meet at Fredericksburg Library Branch (1201 Caroline St., Fredericksburg)
How did Americans who advocated freedom rationalize slavery? Historian Edmund Morgan’s seminal 1975 text covers Virginia’s early history and explores how democratic ideals developed alongside racism and slavery. Joining us at this meeting will be staff from George Washington Birthplace National Monument.
