Civil War at 150: Perspective on Impact and Significance, Lecture Series
“The Human Cost of the American Civil War”
Lecture by Dr. J. David Hacker, Associate Professor of History, University of Minnesota
This lecture series is designed to mark the 150th Anniversary of the end of the US Civil War and to draw campus and community members into a dialogue about the impact and continuing significance of the Civil War.
David Hacker’s recent article, “A Census-Based Count of the Civil War Dead,” reexamines the number of casualties during the US Civil War, challenging the widely accepted estimate of 620,000. The revised figure of 750,000 casualties forces a reexamination of the immediate and long-term human costs of the war. Hacker’s work has received national and international attention.
Program begins at 6:00pm. A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. prior to each program.
There will be three events featuring different speakers scheduled monthly from February to April of 2015. Events are free and open to the public.
