Some Important Women of the Civil War: Nurses and the Home Front

 Too large to be presented in one program, this PowerPoint features some of the contributions of Civil War era women. The role of women in caring for the sick and wounded and on the home-front is covered in this program. Women spies and soldiers will be the focus of another one. The PowerPoint program contains additional information in the Notes section of each slide that the PDF version does not contain. The PDF version, however, takes up much smaller memory. A sample of some of the women featured in the program is below. To access the entire program, click on the format you prefer:  PowerPoint    PDF

Flagbearers and Color-guards in the Civil War

A review of the human cost of carrying an American or Confederate flag during our nation's most costly war.  Among the many inspirational stories of our ancestors, read about the war of attrition between the 24th Michigan and the 26th North Carolina at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863. Both regiments suffered the heaviest number of casualties in either army during their encounter. The Union regiment lost 9 Color-bearers and the Confederate regiment lost 14 such men that day. The survivors of the 26th went on to lose another 8 color-bearers in Picket's Charge two days later--a total of 22 men who carried their colors into battle over three days. This doesn't include the loss of several dozen more men who comprised the color guard for the Regiment. To download a PDF version of this program, click HERE.  

A few of the 55 slides for the program are shown below.  We hope that education about the important role our flag has played in the preservation of freedom in our nation and around the world will result in fewer instances of it being burned and destroyed in future 'protests'. This version discusses both important examples of heroism on the part of both Union and Confederate flag-bearers and color guards. A SUVCW PowerPoint that concentrates on Union regiments and soldiers is available HERE.

The White Slave Trade History Tried to Erase

 "They say slavery began in 1619 – but that’s a lie by omission. For centuries, millions of Europeans were bought, sold, and worked to death in a global trade erased from history books." -- Colin D. Heaton, former Army and Marine soldier and historian 

Watch his 48-minute YOUTUBE documentary exploring the history of white slavery from primarily the early Middle Ages to the nineteenth century HERE.  As the author and producer of "Forgotten History," an extended YOUTUBE series, many of the facts presented by Professor Heaton will surprise the viewer. 

For the sources for much of the information shared by Professor Heaton, search under the label "slavery" for much more on this topic. Unfortunately, school textbooks and our overall culture have so hidden this history from contemporary Americans that several generations have now grown to hate their own country. Today, the call for racial reparations and racial discrimination against white people present real threats to the survival of our Republic.
