Occasional Notes for the Virginia Commission
on the
Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War
The
Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War
Commission has initiated a series of brief historical
notes on specific events before and during the Civil
War. These occasional notes, entitled Sesquicentennial
Moments, will be brief, objective, and well-documented
overviews of selected important topics of interest to
the general reader. Sesquicentennial Moments will be
released periodically, with a wide variety of topics
that generally parallel what was happening at that time
150 years ago.
