Description:
The Virginia Center for Civil War Studies (VCCWS) presents the lecture ‘Repair, Restore, Rebuild’: Reconstructing Southern Spaces in the Wake of the American Civil War" on Thursday, September 15, 2022 in the outdoor pavilion at Historic Smithfield.

For four years Confederate and Union forces battled, raided, and bivouacked in southern cities and countrysides, leaving a trail of desolation in their wake. Mersmann’s talk explores what happened next, how southerners picked up the pieces and rebuilt their homes, businesses, and lives in the war’s aftermath. The lecture will be given by Dr. Molly Mersmann, a VCCWS postdoctoral associate.

Free and open to the public.
