The Center for Civil War Research and UM History Department invite you to attend the 2023 Conference on the Civil War (a Porter Fortune Symposium). The conference, "The Passage of the Armies: Soldiers, Civilians, and the Enslaved in the Civil War and Reconstruction," will explore encounters between soldiers and noncombatants in the Civil War era.
