Boston and the Civil War: Hub of the Second Revolution
March 4, 2015 |
One 150th anniversary of President Lincoln's second inauguration, join historian and author Barbara F. Berenson on a thrilling and memorable journey through Civil War Boston. The city’s black and white abolitionists forged a second American revolution dedicated to ending slavery. The all-black Fifty-Fourth Massachusetts Regiment battled against both slavery and discrimination, while Boston’s women fought tirelessly against slavery and for their own right to be full citizens of the Union. March to war with Boston’s brave soldiers, including the grandson of Patriot Paul Revere and the Fighting Irish. Berenson highlights Theodore Lyman III's role in the conflict as a commissioned officer on General Meade's staff.
Boston and the Civil War: Hub of the Second Revolution will be available for purchase and signing following the illustrated talk. Co-sponsored by the Greater Boston Civil War Roundtable.
