SUMMARY:The Presidential Election of 1864
DESCRIPTION:The American Civil War Museum–Appomattox is pleased to host a special program presented by the Appomattox Petersburg Preservation Society on May 19\, 2026. \n\n\n\n\n5 PM: ACWM–Appomattox exhibits will be open free of charge for guided tours led by Appomattox Petersburg Preservation Society staff.\n\n\n\n6:30 PM: Special Program ‘The Presidential Election of 1864‘\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation examines the presidential election of 1864\, a contest held under the extraordinary pressures of civil war and one that would profoundly influence the nation’s future. More than a political contest between Abraham Lincoln and George B. McClellan\, the election became a referendum on war\, peace\, emancipation\, constitutional liberty\, and the meaning of Union itself. Through an analysis of party divisions\, wartime dissent\, civil liberties\, soldier voting\, and the broader political climate of the era\, this program explores how the election shaped the closing phase of the Civil War and the memory of the figures involved. \n\n\n\nThe program is led by Shannah B. Winchester\, history interpreter specializing in Civil War education and public history at Sailor’s Creek Battlefield Historical State Park. She completed certification from Columbia University on the American Civil War. Her current research focuses on the legacy of General George B. McClellan\, and she is writing a book centered on his role and reputation during the events at Harrison’s Landing in 1862.

SUMMARY:A Nation in Mourning with Derek D. Maxfield
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Derek Maxfield’s talk on Victorian America\, Civil War disruption\, and how it reshaped 19th-century views of death. \n\n\n\nBy 1860\, Victorians had come to dominate the American cultural landscape. The working class sought for most of the century to emulate them\, while the wealthy used their advantages to set themselves apart with material goods and selectively followed Victorian rules to appear sophisticated. However\, Victorian cultural dominance was severely challenged by the Civil War. The harsh realities of war changed Victorian values and left many searching for ways to cope. In few areas was this more apparent than in attitudes toward death. Victorians who entered the 1860s romanticizing death found themselves appalled by grim depictions of mangled corpses in photographs of the era. Looking for a new direction\, they readily embraced the Industrial and Consumer Revolutions in the decades after the war to reshape how death and dying were observed\, how corpses were cared for\, and how cemetery art memorialized the dead. \n\n\n\nDerek Maxfield\, formerly an associate professor of history at Genesee Community College\, received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching (2019) and for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities (2013). His research focuses on Victorian deathways and 19th century politics and culture. He has written for Emerging Civil War since 2015 and is the author of Hellmira: The Union’s Most Infamous Civil War Prison Camp – Elmira\, NY (2020) and Man of Fire: William Tecumseh Sherman in the Civil War (2023)\, both published by Savas Beatie.

SUMMARY:Opium Slavery with Jonathan S. Jones
DESCRIPTION:Join Jonathan S. Jones for a virtual talk on Civil War veterans\, opiate addiction\, and how its legacy connects to today’s opioid crisis. \n\n\n\nDuring the Civil War\, opium and morphine were widely used because they were easy to get\, making them a big part of wartime medicine. After the war ended\, thousands of sick and injured soldiers became addicted\, or as nineteenth-century Americans phrased it\, “enslaved” to the drug. Veterans\, their families\, and communities struggled to deal with the health and social effects that came with addiction. \n\n\n\nMedical and government authorities didn’t always respond well\, often saying addiction was caused by moral weakness\, lack of manliness\, or mental problems. Framing addiction as “opium slavery” limited the effectiveness of care and left many veterans to suffer needlessly for decades after the war ended. \n\n\n\nUsing veterans’ own accounts\, along with hospital and asylum records\, government reports\, newspapers\, and advertisements\, Jonathan S. Jones brings attention to these stories. In doing so\, Jones provides critical historical context for the modern opioid crisis\, which bears a tragic resemblance to that of the post–Civil War era.

SUMMARY:Why Gettysburg Matters
DESCRIPTION:Why has Gettysburg always been the Civil War’s most famous battle and how has it shaped American national identity? In this talk\, Professor of U.S. Political History Adam I.P. Smith argues that ever since the news of Confederate defeat spread on July 4\, 1863\, Gettysburg has been imagined as a place of national “rebirth”. In its own way\, it has been — and continues to be — as vital to the story of American nationhood as anything that happened in the Revolution. \n\n\n\nAdam Smith is the Edward Orsborn Professor of U.S. Political History and Director of the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford. His latest book is “Gettysburg”. Professor Smith is also the host of ‘The Last Best Hope’ podcast.  \n\n\n\nMembers Reception at 5 pm

SUMMARY:The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Join award-winning poet Lisa G. Samia for an online talk on her Civil War poetry series\, including The Nameless and the Faceless. \n\n\n\nNot everyone who witnessed and experienced the Civil War is represented in history. By combining the rhyme and narrative of poetry with Civil War history\, lost voices of the past come forth to share their experiences and suffering—where the humanity of history and the songs of the soul come together to create a deeper empathy for those lost and unknown. \n\n\n\nLisa G. Samia is an award-winning poet and author specializing in American Civil War history. She was selected as a National Park Service Artist-in-Residence for Stones River National Battlefield in 2025\, Manassas National Battlefield Park in 2021\, and Gettysburg National Military Park in 2020 for her poetry. Samia is the author of three Civil War poetry and essay collections: The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War\, The Nameless and the Faceless Women of the Civil War\, and The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War: Gettysburg\, Manassas & More. Her third book in the series received a nomination from the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards in October 2024 in Baltimore.

SUMMARY:The Invincible Twelfth with Benjamin Cwayna
DESCRIPTION:Join Benjamin L. Cwayna for a virtual talk on the “Invincible Twelfth” and the bold\, costly legacy of the 12th South Carolina Infantry. \n\n\n\nThe 12th South Carolina Infantry took part in nearly every major engagement of the war in the Eastern Theater and earned a sterling reputation for its drill and discipline. It became known for its impetuous\, devastating\, and sometimes reckless attacks and counterattacks. This boldness came at a heavy cost: by the war’s end\, only about 150 of the nearly 1\,400 men who served in the regiment’s ranks surrendered at Appomattox Court House. \n\n\n\nJoin Benjamin L. Cwayna for this virtual talk to discover what years of research and exhaustive study of primary sources have revealed about the “invincible Twelfth.”

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Voices of Abolition
DESCRIPTION:Part of our Lunch & Learn series! Bring your own lunch (or feel free to grab something to go from our neighbor\, Daisy’s) and join us for this noontime talk in the ACWM—Tredegar lobby!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary Topic:\n\n\n\nVoices of Abolition with Kelly Hancock\n\n\n\nIn 1830\, the first Negro Convention was held\, marking the beginning of Black involvement in the abolition movement. However\, the contributions of a few African Americans\, with the exception of Frederick Douglass\, are widely unknown today.

SUMMARY:In-Person Book Talk: After the Fire with Nelson Lankford
DESCRIPTION:Explore Richmond’s rebirth after the 1865 fire in After the Fire with Dr. Nelson Lankford in this compelling look at a city reshaped by war.\n\n\n\nIn April 1865\, the war that had consumed Richmond for four years ended in a massive fire that nearly destroyed the city. As the smoke cleared\, no one knew what kind of society would emerge to replace the world that had been lost. After the Fire offers a wide range of perspectives that bring this vanished moment to life—one marked by hardship\, defeat\, celebration\, false starts\, and the rise of Confederate nostalgia and attempts at racial reconciliation. The book traces the struggles of Confederates and Unionists\, men and women\, and Black and white residents as they fought to shape the postwar future of Virginia’s capital city. \n\n\n\nFor thirty years\, Dr. Nelson D. Lankford edited the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography\, the quarterly journal of the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. He is the author or editor of eight books\, the best known being Richmond Burning: The Last Days of the Confederate Capital. His new book\, which he will discuss in this lecture\, is its sequel. After the Fire: Richmond in Defeat continues the story of the city and its people in the aftermath of war and devastation. \n\n\n\nDr. Lankford is a native of Hampton\, Virginia. He received his B.A. from the University of Richmond and his Ph.D. and MBA from Indiana University Bloomington. \n\n\n\n\n5 PM: Members Reception\n\n\n\n6 – 7:15 PM: Lecture followed by Book Signing

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Love in Lynchburg—Where North Met South
DESCRIPTION:Part of our Lunch & Learn series! Bring your own lunch (or feel free to grab something to go from our neighbor\, Daisy’s) and join us for this noontime talk in the ACWM—Tredegar lobby!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanuary Topic:\n\n\n\nThe Slaughters of Lynchburg: Where North Met South with Robert Hancock\n\n\n\nMary Harker was a young Quaker girl from Mt. Holly\, New Jersey. John Slaughter was a slaveholder living and working in Lynchburg\, VA. In 1861 they had been married eight years and had three sons with a fourth child on the way. So how did these two people\, with obviously disparate backgrounds\, end up together?  \n\n\n\nJohn was teased that “the prettiest girl in New Jersey was marrying the ugliest man in Virginia.” Was it some sort of arranged marriage?  \n\n\n\nHow did Mary reconcile her Quaker upbringing with managing a home with five enslaved servants? And would their relationship survive the war when Mary traveled home to her parents and John stayed to defend Lynchburg against an approaching Union army? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIncluded with Museum Admission/ Free to Members

SUMMARY:Virtual Talk: Feeding Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia with Michael C. Hardy
DESCRIPTION:Food\, or the lack of it\, played a crucial role in the Civil War\, contributing mightily to the success and failure of campaigns and affecting the overall outcome of the conflict.

Join us as author and historian Michael C. Hardy explores this often-neglected topic. \n\n\n\nAfter three decades and more than twenty-five books\, Michael C. Hardy is still finding unexplored corners of history. His books\, articles\, and popular blog posts cover the history of people\, places\, and events across the Southern United States.

However\, President Abraham Lincoln desperately wanted a battlefield victory before the year ended to bolster support for the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1\, 1863. Having replaced the lackluster and politically motivated General George McClellan at the head of the Army of the Potomac\, he was counting on General Ambrose Burnside to provide victory and lend authority to the proclamation. Though inexperienced in overall command\, could Burnside deliver? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIncluded with Museum Admission/ Free to Members

SUMMARY:Asia Booth Clarke: Virtual Talk with Lisa Samia
DESCRIPTION:The story of Asia Booth Clarke’s life is relatively unknown\, but she chronicled the Booth family through her letters\, poems\, and books. In her memoir about her brother John\, Asia condemned his murderous act\, but she continued to love him. However\, because John made the Booth name infamous\, she suffered a lifetime of collateral damage. The five words from Shakespeare that concluded her memoir of her brother\, “so runs the world away\,” were the bitter fruit of trying to explain what was in her heart\, which was and always would be unexplainable. \n\n\n\nLisa G. Samia is an award-winning poet and author specializing in Civil War history. She has served as Artist in Residence with the National Park Service at Gettysburg\, Manassas\, and Stones River\, honored for her poetry exploring the personal narratives of the Civil War. Her acclaimed series The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War earned a 2024 nomination from the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards. Lisa is currently researching the life of Asia Booth Clarke while continuing her work in Civil War poetry.

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Talk: Never Such a Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Follow Generals Robert E. Lee and John Pope as they converge on ground bloodied just thirteen months earlier.

For the second summer in a row\, forces would clash on the plains of Manassas\, and the results would be far more terrible. Join us as historians Dan Welch and Kevin Pawlak explore the Battle of Second Manassas.
