SUMMARY:An Unholy Traffic: Virtual Talk with Dr. Robert Colby
DESCRIPTION:Between Fort Sumter and Appomattox\, Confederates bought and sold thousands of men\, women\, and children through a persistent trade in enslaved people. These transactions had profound impacts on the enslaved\, their lives and families\, and the ways in which they pursued freedom during the war and shaped the experience of the Civil War and its aftermath for all inhabitants of the wartime South. \n\n\n\nRobert Colby is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Mississippi. His first book\, An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil War South\, was published in 2024 by Oxford University Press\, and was listed as one of the best Civil War books of 2024 by the Civil War Monitor. His research has won awards from the Society of American Historians and the Society of Civil War Historians and has been published in the Journal of the Civil War Era\, Journal of the Early Republic\, and Slavery & Abolition.

SUMMARY:What the Irish Taught Civil War Americans
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Dr. Aaron Sheehan-Dean delves into his book Fighting With the Past: How Seventeenth-Century History Shaped the American Civil War. In this talk\, he will examine how Union and Confederate armies in the Civil War drew on differing interpretations of Irish history\, particularly in shaping their views on how the war should end—whether with generosity or punishment. \n\n\n\nDr. Sheehan-Dean is the Fred C. Frey Professor of Southern Studies and Chair of the History Department at Louisiana State University. He specializes in nineteenth-century U.S. history\, the Civil War and Reconstruction\, and Southern history. He is also the author of the award-winning The Calculus of Violence: How Americans Fought the Civil War\, Why Confederates Fought: Family and Nation in Civil War Virginia\, and\, most recently\, Reckoning with Rebellion: War and Sovereignty in the Nineteenth Century. \n\n\n\nMember reception is at 5:00pm
