General Introduction
Most of the
time when people think about the Civil War, they usually think about famous
generals and important battles. This time in this museum
tour we present, you will see The Civil War from the perspective of the average
soldier and see the world through his eyes. This exhibit gives visitors the opportunity to seek
characters of history, like woman soldier Sarah Edmonds
Seelye, Chinese immigrant soldier Edward Day Cohota, who most people don't
know, but are still important to understanding the history of the Civil War.
Our exhibition is separated in four subtopics, which are Soldiers of all shapes and colors, a soldier’s daily life, casualties, and After war. Visitors will be introduced to various types of soldiers, including African American soldiers, women soldiers, children soldiers, and immigrant soldiers. After that visitors will experience the daily schedule of a normal soldier. Visitors will understand the extent of the carnage of the war and the amount of casualties compared to other wars. Visitors will then see postwar life of the soldiers, including how they were treated with different standards for the Union side and the Confederate side.
Overall, this exhibit gives visitors the chance to have a closer look on lives of soldiers and to have a deeper understanding of the civil war.
