Scholarship and Speaking Engagements
I am an historian of the Civil War era, and I regularly speak at museums, historic sites, and other community venues. I can do broad overviews of the Civil War & Reconstruction era, or we can talk about something more specific like Confederate economic policy, the Confederate army's uses of enforced labor, politics in North Carolina during Civil War & Reconstruction, or black North Carolinians' experiences during the era.
