SUMMARY:11/12-13 Nashville-2010 150th Signature Event
DESCRIPTION:On November 12-13\, the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission will kick off the first of its historic signature events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Heritage Area director Van West\, co-chair of the Commission\, has been closely involved with program planning\, and this is a powerful and unique opportunity to experience the Civil War in Tennessee firsthand. Free and open to the public\, this event is filled with two days of special guests\, panel discussions\, music\, and living history.\nOn Friday at TPAC’s Jackson Hall\, Tennessee Department of Tourist Development Commissioner Susan Whitaker will open the event\, followed by remarks from Governor Phil Bredesen and James Lighthizer\, President of the Civil War Preservation Trust\, among many others. Trace Adkins\, country star and narrator for Nashville Public Television’s upcoming Civil War documentary series\, will also make an appearance\, followed by a heart-stirring performance by the renowned Fisk Jubilee Singers.\nOn Friday and Saturday\, living history at the Bicentennial Mall includes Confederate and Union encampments\, interpreters\, music\, flag presentations\, and sutlers. Attendees can also view rarely seen artifacts at the Tennessee State Museum\, or attend a training session on how to interpret and organize Civil War artifacts at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.\nSaturday offers panel discussions sponsored by the Heritage Area with renowned Civil War scholars\, including Drs. Paul Bergeron\, Bobby Lovett\, Tim Johnson\, Carole Bucy\, and Van West. Sessions examine 1850s politics and the effect of Lincoln’s election on the coming of the war\; slavery\, abolition\, freedom\, and the African American experience in Tennessee\; how women across the state prepared for war\; and the contributions of Tennessee’s brightest and most inept military leaders.\nAlso on Saturday\, historian and keynote speaker Sam Davis Elliott will discuss the coming of the war.
