The Greatest Patriots: Unsung Heroes of the Civil War
Thursday, April 26th @ 6:00 pm—This program is made possible with funding from the Delaware Humanities Forum and will be presented by Mr. Dan Pritchett. This talk takes a well-deserved look back at five relatively unknown but remarkable heroes and patriots who stepped forward during our country’s greatest crisis to help “save the union” and bring about “a new birth of freedom.” This quintet includes two southern-born officers, two African-American soldiers, and the woman who become known as “the Angel of the Battlefield.” Each of them is an exemplar of the true meaning of patriotism—love and devotion to one’s country.
