SUMMARY:The Veteran Reserve Corps with David A. Welker
DESCRIPTION:Join David A. Welker as he brings to light the story of the Veteran Reserve Corps and the wounded soldiers who helped defend the Union. \n\n\n\nThe Veteran Reserve Corps\, originally known as the Union’s Invalid Corps\, was created when President Lincoln called 60\,000 wounded combat veterans back to service during the war’s darkest days. These men overcame ridicule and public scorn to contribute to Union victory\, including their often overlooked role in saving the nation’s capital from Confederate attack in July 1864. \n\n\n\nDavid A. Welker is a professional historian with the US Government and author of three Civil War histories\, The Cornfield: Antietam’s Turning Point; Tempest at OxHill: The Battle of Chantilly and A Keystone Rebel: The Diary of Joseph Garey. Welker is also the author of numerous magazine articles and a frequent public speaker on diverse aspects of the war. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZoom Webinar Instructions / For further assistance\, please contact khancock@acwm.org

SUMMARY:Crisis at Antietam
DESCRIPTION:The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee was in grave peril. With nearly half his forces exhausted and straggling\, Lee confronted George McClellan’s Army of the Potomac—a Union force poised for a decisive victory that famously slipped from its grasp.

Through the clothes they made\, wore\, mended\, lost\, and stole\, Americans expressed their allegiances\, showed their love\, confronted social and economic challenges\, subverted expectations\, and\, ultimately\, preserved their history. \n\n\n\nJoin us as author Sarah Weicksel draws on her book and focuses on artifacts—including those in the American Civil War Museum’s collections—and their stories to explore how clothing was central to the ways people waged the Civil War and experienced its cost. \n\n\n\nDr. Sarah Weicksel is a historian and material culture scholar and the author of A Nation Unraveled: Clothing\, Culture\, and Violence in the American Civil War Era (UNC Press\, 2026).
