TUESDAY, JAN. 12 � After theWar: James LongstreetIn war, he was Lee’s revered second in command.After the war, he was tabbed the “most hated manin the South.” This session follows the post-war life of one of the most controversial figures in theConfederacy and post-war South.

TUESDAY, JAN. 19 � After theWar: Jefferson Davis Defeated, pursued, captured and imprisoned,Jefferson Davis became a tragic figure in Americanhistory. This class follows the fallen Confederatepresident from his capture to his release and fromhis role as tortured soul to Southern martyr.

THURSDAY, FEB. 4 � The 13th,14th and 15th Amendments Collectively, they are known as the Reconstructionamendments. Individually, these three expandedthe power of the federal government and providedsocial change that was unprecedented. We gatherto understand their passage, impact and continuingstory as, even today, we wrestle with the strugglefor their complete application.

MONDAY, FEB. 22 � Harriet TubmanTo those on the Underground Railroad, she wasMoses. To slave owners, Harriet Tubman was a fieryand passionate abolitionist who organized and ledAfrican-American military operations within theConfederacy. This class details the life and courageof this extraordinary woman.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31 �Reconstruction, Part II The Union won the war and, now, wanted to winthe peace. Yet with the backdrop of a victoriousNorth and devastated South, the years 1865–77became a second “battlefield.” During this session,we pick up the story in 1866 when, amidst unrest inthe world-turned-upside-down South, the executiveand legislative bodies of the Federal squared off tobegin unprecedented battle.

THURSDAY, APRIL 14 �Zebulon Vance He may still be the best stump speaker in NorthCarolina’s political history. In multiple roles, heserved the Old North State with a quick wit thatcould be as sharp as his defense of local self government and personal rights. That wit would be sorely tested in post-war North Carolina but he rallied to provide such powerful leadership that,to honor him, his statue remains one of NorthCarolina’s two in the National Statuary Collectioninside the United States Capitol.

THURSDAY, APRIL 28 �Reconstruction in the Old North State, Part IIThough the great conflict was over, the bitterness between North Carolina Unionists andConfederates continued. This class will continue the story in 1866 as Federal occupation lingered in the Old North State—a circumstance thatheightened political turmoil and social unrest.

THURSDAY, MAY 12 �Lee: The Marble ManTo many, particularly in the South, Robert E. Lee—like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln—has joined a select pantheon of American heroeswhose aura has transformed him from humanbeing to icon. This class digs into how that happened, how it has manifested itself in the pastand continues to do so—often controversially—in the present.

THURSDAY, MAY 26 �The Lost Cause The architects of the Lost Cause sought to justifytheir own actions, allow themselves and otherSoutherners to find something positive in defeatand provide future generations with a “correct”narrative of the War. This session takes a look atsome of the architects, their motivation and thecrusade itself.

THURSDAY, JUNE 9 � UnlikelyAssociates: Ulysses S. Grant andMark Twain One was the greatest general of his time. The otherproved to be one of this country’s greatest writers.This session spins the tale of their connection andfriendship. Given the backdrop of Grant’s final days,this is a story of inspiration and desperation, ofgenius and ruin. Join us as we capture a powerfulmoment in the lives of two influential Americansand the age they represented.

TUESDAY, JUNE 14 � UNC andChapel Hill during Reconstruction Due to the overwhelming interest in this session,we offer an encore. The University of NorthCarolina was one of the few Southern universitiesthat remained open throughout the Civil War.However, Reconstruction and its politics providedcontroversies that shook Chapel Hill and theUniversity to its very core. We gather, yet again, to recount that tumultuous period.

The General Alumni Association is a self-governed, nonprofit organization servingCarolina and its many alumni, students,parents and friends. Membership in theGAA is open to anyone seeking closer tiesto the University.

APRIL 29 –MAY 1 � Wilmington and the North Carolina Coast

As strongly suggested by those that attend our sessions, we will make a spring excursion to a region thatwas seen as the “backdoor to Richmond” and, as the war continued, the site of the last remainingConfederate port open to the outside world. Our trip to Wilmington will be highlighted with a visit to oneof the Federal objectives in spring of 1862— Fort Macon, then continuing on to Wilmington, we will visitthe site of Fort Fisher—the “Gibraltar of the Confederacy.” Daily presentations and discussions on theimportance of North Carolina’s coast will enhance the experience as will spring temperatures and good food from the Atlantic.
