These funerals featured lengthy processions that sometimes crossed multiple state lines, burial ceremonies open to the public, and other cultural productions of commemoration such as oration and song. As Sarah J. Purcell reveals, Americans' participation in these funeral rites led to contemplation and contestation over the political and social meanings of the war and the roles played by the honored dead"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Funeral rites and ceremonies $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Death $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Collective memory $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Public opinion. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Public opinion. 830 0 $a Civil War America (Series) 941 $a 3 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015030.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221005010343.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220505010501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=275F8EC4CC3911ECA9DB857422ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
