We’re still catching our breath from our Second Annual Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge. Attendees came from as far away as Illinois and Indiana, New York and New Jersey, and South Carolina (and ECW’s Meg Thompson came from California!), spending the weekend discussing the legacies of the Civil War. We posted a recap, as well as a bunch of pictures, at Emerging Civil War.
C-SPAN taped several of the sessions. Once those segments begin to air, we’ll let you know.
One of the cool things for me was to see all the lessons my fellow historians took away from the event. They posted their reflections—their “takeaways” from the symposium—in a special blog series.
This year’s event was such a success that we’ve already begun plans for our THIRD Annual Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge. We’ll announce details soon!
