For those who’ve been following C-SPAN’s coverage of the Second Annual Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge, the latest two installments are up:
Phill Greenwalt talked about the formation of the Lost Cause interpretation of the war.
Emmanuel Dabney discussed the mixed legacy of the Freedmen’s Bureau.
Previous installments from last August’s events are also available:
Chris Kolakowski discussed the fall of Richmond and the surrender at Appomattox—and the ongoing legacy of both.
Keynote speaker Dana Shoaf provided an overview of the history of the bayonet.
And our panel of historians talked about the legacies of the war, the success (or not) of the Sesquicentennial, and the summer’s Confederate culture wars.
Stevenson Ridge’s own historian in residence, Chris Mackowski, served as the event’s emcee.
Tickets for the Third Annual Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge are now available. The event will run Aug. 5-7, 2016.
