ART 398U ST: ‘Our Glorious Dead’22656 01 3 T 7:00 PM–9:40 PM Wray/Alley $1,140Abraham Lincoln spoke in his first inaugural address of the power of “the mystic bonds of mem-ory” in American life. At no time has the power of memory been stronger in our nation’s historythan in post-Civil War America. The American Civil War caused a staggering loss of life in bothUnion and Confederacy. Those lost lives - often referred to, especially in the South, as “our glori-ous dead” - became a focus of not only intense personal grief and private means of commemora-tion, but also of public commemoration that took many forms: writings, religious services, specialcemeteries for the military dead, parades, paintings, statues, monuments, stained glass windows,public holidays, organizations, political action, and more. This course will examine the impact,both during and after the war, of the massive death toll and the magnitude and types of commem-oration of the dead that began while the war still raged and continued long afterward. While bothUnion and Confederate commemoration and their significance will be studied, special focus willbe on that of the Confederacy. Particular attention will be given to the visual aspects of the com-memoration and their historic impact.

22658 01 3 T 7:00 PM–9:40 PM Wray/Alley $1,140Abraham Lincoln spoke in his first inaugural address of the power of “the mystic bonds of mem-ory” in American life.

Those lost lives - often referred to, especially in the South, as “our glori-ous dead” - became a focus of not only intense personal grief and private means of commemora-tion, but also of public commemoration that took many forms: writings, religious services, specialcemeteries for the military dead, parades, paintings, statues, monuments, stained glass windows,public holidays, organizations, political action, and more. This course will examine the impact,both during and after the war, of the massive death toll and the magnitude and types of commem-oration of the dead that began while the war still raged and continued long afterward. While bothUnion and Confederate commemoration and their significance will be studied, special focus willbe on that of the Confederacy. Particular attention will be given to the visual aspects of the com-memoration and their historic impact.
