For those living in the rolling hills of the Piedmont the American Civil War seemed distant. Still, this area gave men, materiel and moral support to the Confederacy. That said, there were, also, those who questioned the sacrifices required for independence. This class will explore North Carolina’s Piedmont as it served as a Confederate “depot,” hosted great events like Bentonville and served as a stage for political unrest. Join us for a Civil War study of the region we call home.
