SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Theodore Roosevelt and the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 14  |  12:00pm – 1:00pm  |  Speaker: Calvin Watts\, Academic Advisor\, UW-Parkside \nOnly two years old when Fort Sumter was fired upon\, Theodore Roosevelt would spend the rest of his life reckoning with\, and trying to live up to\, the legacy of the Civil War generation. Acutely aware of the sacrifices made by those who had served their country\, and his father’s choice to not take up arms\, TR would engage with personalities who had served on both sides all his life\, and was always measuring himself against these individuals. When a global crisis on par with the Civil War finally came in 1914\, he would send his sons to France to play the part he had always dreamed of. After years of expounding the glories of war\, he would pay the ultimate price as a father\, forever shattering his long-held notions of duty and honor.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: The Union Prisoners of War at Camp Douglas
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 11  |  12:00pm – 1:00pm  |  Speaker: Rob Girardi \nCamp Douglas\, located on the south side of Chicago\, was Illinois’ largest Civil War training camp. More than 40\,000 Union volunteers mustered here. In February 1862\, the camp was converted to accommodate Confederate prisoners of war. About 24\,000 Confederates were held there during the war\, of which 6\,000 died. Their story is well-told. Yet lesser known is the story of the thousands of Union POWs who were held in the camp while awaiting exchange. \nIn September 1862\, nearly 13\,000 Union soldiers surrendered to Confederate forces at Harpers Ferry\, Virginia. The majority of these were interred in parole camps waiting to be exchanged before they could rejoin the Union Army. More than 8\,000 of these Union soldiers were sent to Camp Douglas where they occupied barracks recently vacated by Confederate prisoners and were subjected to the same poor sanitary conditions and privations. Their uncertain future and lack of understanding of their status led to a breakdown in discipline. Mr. Girardi’s presentation is an account of their troublesome experiences in Chicago.
