The Great Courses at the Center will begin part two of the American Civil War on Wednesdays 1:30-3:00. Leading Civil War historian, Professor Gary W. Gallagher richly details the effects of the Civil War on all Americans. You'll learn how armies were recruited, equipped, and trained. You'll learn about the hard lot of prisoners. You'll hear how soldiers on both sides dealt with the rigors of camp life, campaigns, and the terror of combat. You'll understand how slaves and their falling masters responded to the advancing war. And you will see the desperate price paid by the families so many left behind. The program begins with a 30 minute video, followed by a lively discussion among participants. Free
