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: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. From how soldiers prepared meals to the hunger they often endured\, understanding their daily sustenance offers a unique window into their experiences and the broader logistics of the Confederate army. 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.
