This is a continuation of a study group that is planned to continue through successive Spring and Fall sessions. We will be looking in depth at the Civil War and Reconstruction from a military, political, societal, and economic perspective. These continuing sessions will include many stand-alone topics covering people; political and moral viewpoints; foreign affairs; life on the home front; military life; tactics and many more aspects of this period in American history. The military events of the conflict will be covered in considerable detail. We will be using lecture, discussion and audio/visual throughout this study group. Participants are encouraged to suggest topics for discussion and make short presentations if so inclined.

Persecution or prosecution? This study group will discuss the many charges and trials facing the former president of the United States, Donald Trump. We will do a deep dive into the facts and law, surrounding the allegations of misconduct against Mr. Trump. The participants in the study group will discuss the merits or lack thereof surrounding the many legal challenges facing Mr. Trump and decide whether to find him guilty or not guilty of each charge.
