In the midst of intense Cold War turmoil and the escalating struggle for Black freedom, the United States also engaged in a nationwide commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Civil War. Commemorative events centered on Gettysburg, site of the best-known, bloodiest, and most symbolically charged battle of the conflict. Inevitably, the centennial of Lincoln's iconic Gettysburg Address received special focus, pressed into service to help the nation understand its present and define its future--a future that would ironically include another tragic event days later with the assassination of another American president. In this fascinating work, Jill Ogline Titus uses centennial events in Gettysburg to examine the history of political, social, and community change in 1960s America"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Gettysburg, Battle of, Gettysburg, Pa., 1863 $x Centennial celebrations, etc. 650 0 $a Collective memory $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Gettysburg (Pa.) $x History. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781469665368 830 0 $a Civil War America (Series) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220506013622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4842A7EA83F811ECA43678234CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
