SUMMARY:1861 The Civil War Year By Year - Reflections On Amercia's Deadliest War
DESCRIPTION:1860 & 1861 The Civil War Year By Year\nEvery Wednesday in June\, we will look at a different year in the Civil War! The Declaration Of Independence stated “We hold these truths to be self evident\, that all men are created equal…” The Civil War tested whether or not we really meant it. In 1860 and 1861 the Civil War began. \nThis exciting four week series will trace the history of the Civil War. In 1860\, our nation faced one of the most crucial elections in our history.  Four great candidates stood for office.  The only real issue was slavery.  Today we see the practice of kidnapping human beings and holding them against their will as abhorrent.  In 1860\, the economy and social structure of an entire region of the United States was built on the premise that kidnapping and bondage were acceptable means of making money.  Our four week series begins with an in depth look at the Lincoln Douglas debates of 1858\, the election of 1860\, and the secession of  the Confederate States. \nIn 1861 the Civil War really began.  We saw American citizens in revolt against the Constitution while holding millions of people against their will.  We saw personal tragedies unfold as the tender hearted Abraham Lincoln saw the body of the first American patriot killed by the rebels brought back to Washington DC.  The body was that of Elmer Ellsworth.  He was a close friend of Lincoln’s. The death of Elmer Ellsworth represents the personal nature of this deadly fight. \nPeople happily brought picnic baskets to watch the First Battle Of Bull Run unfold.  By the end of the battle\, America knew was was not glamorous and victory would be difficult. Among the topics to be covered are the election of 1860\, the secession of the terrorist groups and the first year of the Civil War. \nWe will explore how in 1861 the Civil War began a great test of America’s moral purpose\, military strength and future direction began. \nToday the battlefields of the Civil War are quiet. \n \nWe will see how they were the sites of the greatest struggle in American history. \nCOST: \nI am asking for a suggested contribution of $5.00 per class from everyone who registers for the class. You can simply pay $20.00 (or\, if you can afford it\, $25.00 with the overage covering folks who cannot afford to pay)  for the entire series or just join any individual class. THE SAME ZOOM LINK WILL WORK FOR ALL THE CLASSES! \nPLEASE MARK “”Civil War” in the subject line on your check or e-payment! If you are interested but cannot afford the donation\, please sign up! I am unemployed\, so I understand the financial strain of the crisis! If you can pay\, it is most appreciated as I care for my family. \nSEATS AVAILABLE: 36 of 100 \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.

SUMMARY:1862 The Civil War Year By Year- The Battle For America
DESCRIPTION:1862 The Civil War At 150\n\n\n\n\nA Nation Divided – 1862 The Civil War\n\n\n\nWhen the Civil War began\, both sides believed the war would end quickly. They could not have been more wrong. At the two day Battle of Shiloh\,there were more American casualties than in the entire Revolutionary War\, the War Of 1812 and the Mexican – American War – combined. Both sides realized that the War would be long and bloody and that the casualty count would stagger the imagination. \nThe Southern (“Confederate” traitors were helped in 1862 by good military leadership but their cause was hurt by inept political leadership fighting for the right to hold human beings as forced laborers  sexual slaves under the guise of “State’s Rights.”  \nThe United States Of America was hurt by uneven military leadership and helped enormously by political leadership that evolved and grew in purpose and resolve. \nIn this this week’s presentation we will trace the dual paths of the USA and the traitors and note the emergence of General Grant. \n  \nCOST: \nI am asking for a suggested contribution of $5.00 per class from everyone who registers for the class.

SUMMARY:The Civil War In 1863
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT! SORRY!\nOur series on the Civil War continues with one of the most exciting and meaningful years in that great conflict.\nIn 1863\, Abraham Lincoln made the rationale for winning the war not just the preservation of the Union\, but the destruction and elimination of the barbaric practice of slavery. At Gettysburg\, Lincoln made one of the most memorable speeches of all time\, declaring\,| “that government of the people\, by the people\, for the people\, shall not perish from the earth.”  \nIn 1863 Lincoln showed his great compassion and deep faith by declaring the first National Thanksgiving Day – despite the carnage of the War. \nFinally\, as battles raged and riots erupted\, President Abraham Lincoln announced the \nEmancipation Proclamation. The purpose of the Civil War had shifted\, although victory against the terrorists was still far from certain. Lincoln’s moral stance elevated the purpose of the War to something noble. \nPlease don’t miss this amazing multimedia presentation! \nSOLD OUT!

SUMMARY:The Civil War In 1864 -65
DESCRIPTION:The Civil War In 1864 -65 marks the culmination of the battle to reunify the land\, crush the terrorists and end the barbaric practice of slavery. Although the fighting ends when the brilliant leadership of Generals Grant\, Sherman\, Sheridan\, and Meade and Admiral Farragut finally destroys the terrorist army threatening the United States Of America\, the end of the Civil War also brings about the murder of Abraham Lincoln. \nThe brutal killing of our greatest President by a  motley group of terrorists dooms the South to almost a century of racial antagonism\, poverty and strife. As we think about the end of the Civil War\, we will also think about what it heralded for the future. \nPlease don’t miss this amazing multimedia presentation! \nCOST: \nI am asking for a suggested contribution of $5.00 per class from everyone who registers for the class.
