Richmond Civilians in April, 1865

Описание к видео Richmond Civilians in April, 1865

Richmond’s abrupt transition from Confederate capital to Union occupation in April, 1865 meant tremendous changes for its civilian population. Basic necessities, such as food and shelter, could be difficult to come by, particularly with much of the city literally in ashes. Along with these challenges came opportunities for the city’s civilians, but perhaps especially for newly-emancipated African Americans. Museum Curator Cathy Wright gave this talk in April, 2015.
