SPOTLIGHT SESSION
Texas and the Civil War
Presented by Bullock Texas State History Museum
Grades: 4-12
Cost: FREE
Date: May 17
Time: 10:00-10:50 a.m. CST
Why did the United States divide and go to war against itself? How did this affect families, the economy, and enslaved people? What battles were fought within Texas' borders, and what toll did these battles take on the soldiers? A Museum educator will lead students as they search for evidence from artifacts and paintings. A special guest from the past, Major General Granger, will tell his story about how his reading of the Emancipation Proclamation brought about the end of slavery in Texas.
RECORDING - Can't join us live on May 17th? No problem! You will be sent a link to access the recording 1-3 business days after the live program.
