the Campaigns that Changed the Civil War

The Civil War is the most interesting event in American history, affecting everything that has happened in this country since then — race relations, federal government powers, states’ rights, economic issues, military issues, medicine. In addition, there are many fascinating stories about the Civil War, including duels, old fashioned ideas of honor, and unusual personalities. And the most important Civil War sites are very close to us.

Therefore, those of us in Leisure World who are interested in the Civil War formed an organization called a Civil War Round Table. There are dozens of similar groups around the country. We plan to have meetings where we will invite speakers, maybe take trips, and share information and learn more about the Civil War.
