When the Confederate States of America was formed, Southern statesmen and generals had built a proslavery, antidemocratic nation in order to protect their property—and excluded and disenfranchised white women and slaves, who comprised the majority of the population. When wartime shortages and domestic crises arose, woman and slaves became critical political actors as they contested the government, struggled for their freedom, and demanded to be counted. Stephanie McCurry discusses her book Confederate Reckoning and describes the epic political battle in which women and slaves helped to decide the fate of the Confederacy and the outcome of the Civil War. A book signing will follow the program.
The speaker was introduced by Douglas Swanson, Visitor Services Manager, National Archives Experience.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
