Civil War Through Paintings

Описание: The Civil War was perhaps the last great conflict celebrated by painters, because this struggle was the first great war memorialized by the photographers, including Mathew Brady and many others. Maybe American painters perhaps realized that this was the last time for them to record a visual history of a major war.

We will learn using paintings and lithographs about:
• John Brown and his Raid of Harper’s Ferry.
• South Carolina bombarding Fort Sumter.
• General Winfield Scott and his Anaconda Plan.

We will view paintings on:
• Early battles: Battle of Bull Run, Battle of Shiloh, Peninsula Campaign, Peninsular Campaign, Battle of Malvern Hill, Battle of Second Manassas, Battle of Antietam, Battle of Fredericksburg, and Battle of Chancellorsville.
• Later Battles: Battle of Vicksburg, Battle of Chickamauga, Battle of Chattanooga, capture of New Orleans, Picket’s Charge, Battle of Gettysburg, Storming Fort Wagner, Battle of Franklin, Battle of Atlanta, General Sherman’s March to the Sea, Battle of the Wilderness, Battle of Spotsylvania, Battle of Petersburg, Battle of Five Forks, and the Fall of Richmond.
• The Emancipation Proclamation, Surrender at Appomattox, and Assassination of Lincoln.
• Civil War forts including Fort Clinch, Fort McAllister, Fort Pulaski, Fort Jefferson, and Fort Zachary Taylor.
• Abraham Lincoln, General Ulysses Grant, Robert E Less, and Frederick Douglass and their role in the Civil War.

As Socrates teaches us, the examined life is a life worth living. We would be fools if we did not desire to learn from our multitude of friends whose words live in the works of the classics that have survived from past centuries and millennia. The Stoic and moral philosophers of Greece and Rome saw philosophy as an evangelical enterprise, seeking to spread the joy of living a godly life for its own sake.

Our projects include:
Studying the teachings of the ancient and modern stoic and moral philosophers on how to better lead a godly life.
Studying ancient and modern history to learn moral lessons and learn how we can successfully live a life of faith in trying times, including civil rights and social gospel history.
Studying issues of morality in the Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and Jewish traditions.

Everyone should join and participate in their local church. However, my internet persona is purposefully obscure so that I can be respectful of all genuine Judeo-Christian traditions, I do not wish to be disrespectfully polemical.
