Maine in the Civil War and Reconstruction In-Person
Maine in the Civil War and Reconstruction
Presented by Ashley Towle
While the experiences of famous men such as Hannibal Hamlin and Joshua Chamberlain are well known to many, this talk explores the lesser-known stories of white and Black Mainers who influenced the Civil War and Reconstruction. Attendees will learn about Civil War nurses, self-liberating refugees from slavery, idealistic reformers, and an imperiled Reconstruction-era governor.
