    The Adams Family and the Civil War

    Although Charles Francis Adams Jr. (the grandson of antislavery politician John Quincy) led black cavalrymen during the Civil War, he remained an unreconstructed racist and anti-Semite, a story Professor of History Douglas Egerton, Ph.D., explores in his current book project. His presentation focuses on the kinds of sources on which he relies in his investigation.

    This event is part of the Humanities Research Seminar, showcasing the variety and excellence of scholarly and creative work by the Le Moyne faculty. It is organized by the O’Connell Professorship—for further information contact Jennifer Glancy ([email protected]).
