“Iowa Confederates:  The Forgotten Iowans of the Civil War”

I plan to discuss the motives of 76 Iowa residents who served the C.S.A. and ways in which they were shadow images of their Union counterparts.  I will also share statistics on the number of Iowans who returned to the state after Appomattox.  In addition, I will give insights into wartime Iowa, in particular, the State Republican Party’s propaganda campaign.

This event is part of the 2nd Friday Lecture Series, and it is sponsored by the Milwaukee Civil War Round Table and Iron Brigade Association.
