Historians Dr. David Zonderman, Dr. Christopher Graham, and Kaitlin O’Connell explore what labor went on off the battlefield. Entrenchments, quartermasters, and African American labor have been often overlooked as the essential factors that made the war work.

These lectures explore the support network that supported soldiers in the field and ultimately decided victory and defeat.
