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
