SUMMARY:A Nation Unraveled
DESCRIPTION:During the American Civil War\, clothing became central to the 
 ways people waged war and experienced its cost. Through the clothes they m
 ade\, wore\, mended\, lost\, and stole\, Americans expressed their allegia
 nces\, showed their love\, confronted social and economic challenges\, sub
 verted expectations\, and\, ultimately\, preserved their history. Join us 
 as author Sarah Weicksel draws on her book and focuses on artifacts—incl
 uding those in the American Civil War Museum’s collections—and their s
 tories to explore how clothing was central to the ways people waged the Ci
 vil War and experienced its cost. Dr. Sarah Weicksel is a historian and ma
 terial culture scholar and the author of A Nation Unraveled: Clothing\, Cu
 lture\, and Violence in the American Civil War Era (UNC Press\, 2026). She
  currently serves as the executive director of the American Historical Ass
 ociation and previously worked at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of A
 merican History. Her writing focuses on the American Civil War\, emancipat
 ion\, military history\, gender history\, and material culture. Weicksel e
 arned a PhD in history from the University of Chicago\, an MA in American 
 material culture from the Winterthur Program at the University of Delaware
 \, and a BA in history from Yale University.
