SUMMARY:A Nation Unraveled
DESCRIPTION:During the American Civil War\, clothing became central to the ways people waged war and experienced its cost. 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). She currently serves as the executive director of the American Historical Association and previously worked at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Her writing focuses on the American Civil War\, emancipation\, military history\, gender history\, and material culture. Weicksel earned a PhD in history from the University of Chicago\, an MA in American material culture from the Winterthur Program at the University of Delaware\, and a BA in history from Yale University. \n\n\n\nMember Reception at 5 PM \n\n\n\nPlease use the gated entrance on Brown’s Island Way (located near the corner of Tredegar Street) to access the parking lot. The gated entrance will remain open from 5:00 pm until 6:20 pm and will be reopened for departure after the program’s completion. If you need assistance\, Guest Services staff may be reached at 804-649-1861 ext. 100.

SUMMARY:Stonewall Jackson’s Winter Operations
DESCRIPTION:When examined apart from the Shenandoah Valley Campaign\, these earlier military activities reveal a starkly different portrait of the enigmatic general\, “Stonewall” Jackson. Rather than lightning-quick maneuvers and tactical victories\, Jackson faced significant challenges\, made mistakes and miscalculations\, and led a series of unsuccessful operations. \n\n\n\nJoin historian and author Timothy R. Snyder as he draws on extensive primary source research—including official reports\, letters\, diaries\, and newspapers—to fundamentally reshape perceptions of the fabled Confederate general and present a more accurate historical portrait of the man and his early military career. \n\n\n\nTimothy R. Snyder earned an MA in history from Shippensburg University in 1999. He is the author of “Trembling in the Balance: The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal during the Civil War” (2011) and has published articles in numerous journals\, magazines\, and newsletters. His research focuses on Maryland’s political and military history during the secession crisis and Civil War\, as well as loyalty and allegiance in the border states. With family ties to both the Union Army and Gettysburg civilian Jennie Wade\, Snyder brings a personal connection to Civil War history. \n\n\n\nZoom Webinar Instructions / For further assistance\, please contact khancock@acwm.org
