SUMMARY:The Surrenders of the Confederacy
DESCRIPTION:The Confederate surrender at Appomattox featured the stacking of arms\, the surrender of colors\, and the review of troops—a noble and orderly ceremony that has captured the American imagination for 160 years. But Appomattox was only the beginning of the end. Beyond Virginia\, the Confederacy surrendered in bits and pieces\, in a series of scattered events marked by confusion\, chaos\, and controversy lacking all of Appomattox’s romance and reconciliation. The last flag down wouldn’t even come until November. Join us for a trip to places American history has forgotten: Bennett Place\, North Carolina; Citronelle\, Alabama; Galveston\, Texas; Doaksville\, Oklahoma; and more. \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr. Chris Mackowski\, co-founder of Emerging Civil War

SUMMARY:A King’s Cure: Abraham Lincoln and the Thirteenth Amendment
DESCRIPTION:On February 1\, 1865\, the day after Congress passed the resolution for the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery\, a group of celebrants urged President Lincoln to speak on the occasion. Calling the amendment “a King’s cure for all the evils\,” Lincoln saw it as essential not just to ending slavery but to truly concluding the Civil War. \n\n\n\nMichael Vorenberg is the author of Final Freedom: The Civil War\, the Abolition of Slavery\, and the Thirteenth Amendment—a finalist for the Lincoln Prize and a basis for Spielberg’s 2012 film\, Lincoln. He has written extensively on legal and constitutional history and teaches at Brown University in Providence\, Rhode Island. \n\n\n\nHe has lectured widely on the Civil War\, Lincoln\, and the U.S. Constitution\, with writings in major publications like The New York Times and The Washington Post.
