Course Description
Instructor: Charles Richards, BA, JD
Many things we believe we know about the Civil War and the Reconstruction are, in fact, myths. We will examine the ways in which these myths were first created, and the purposes of the myth-makers. We will consider ways in which these myths may have distorted our understanding of these pivotal events in our national history, and the ways in which these myths are still being perpetuated. And we will debate whether these myths are benign or harmful.
