Four American Presidents (But What Did They Have to Do With the Civil War?) February 20, 2010

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and John Tyler confronted issues and situations that presaged the dissolution of the Union in 1860–1861. This all-day symposium, sponsored by the Museum of the Confederacy and the Library of Virginia, will show how the thoughts and actions of four antebellum presidents help us better understand the coming of the Civil War.
