SUMMARY:Civil War Roundtable: Was the Civil War about Slavery? Yes\, No\, and the Path to Yes with Dr. Mark Jaede
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Overview: Although the Civil War unquestionably led to the freeing of enslaved African Americans\, there is ongoing debate in popular culture about whether we should think of is as a war about slavery. Broadly\, there is a tendency for those who sympathize with the North to characterize it as a noble war to free slaves\, and for those more aligned with the South to call it a heroic but doomed struggle to preserve states’ rights and Southern culture. This talk will explore the shortcomings of both generalizations and consider the question of who really freed the slaves. \nSpeaker: Dr. Mark Jaede is a professor of history at St. Cloud State University \nMeetings are held at the Stearns County History Museum\, 235 33rd Ave S\, St Cloud. This meeting will take place on Tuesday\, May 9th at 3:30pm (doors open at 3). \nNote change in starting time:\n3:00pm – doors open and opportunity to socialize and interact with fellow members\n3:15pm – welcome and “new features”\n3:30pm – speaker presentation\n4:45pm – adjourn\nFor more information – contact Andy Ditlevson – aditlevson@gmail.com\, 320-241-8477

SUMMARY:Living Memory - Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Pioneer Settlers Association
DESCRIPTION:Change of Plans!\nOur May 18th Living Memory Event is no longer on the calendar. (We know you were excited–and so were we–but sometimes the best-laid plans don’t make history after all.)

Keep an eye out for these upcoming featured makers! We want to extend a huge thank you to Randy Schmitz at Rolling Ridge\, Mary Bruno at Bruno Press (Living Memory prints will still be available for purchase in our gift shop)\, Liz Fiedler at Sunny Mary Medow Farm\, and those who showed support for the Living Memory celebration\, and we look forward to seeing you all at these other exciting events: \n\nHops & History: A Brief History of the Undergarment (May 11\, 5:30-7:30 at Third Street Brewhouse in Cold Spring)\nUncovering Racial Covenant in St. Cloud (May 17\, 6:30pm at the Museum)\nSnooky’s Pub Crawl (Thursday June 8\, 6-9pm downtown St. Cloud)\nAt War & At Home\, the World War II Experience (Sat-Sun July 8-9 at the Museum)
