Battlefield sound
The Civil War Trust’s Field Trip Fund has provided students with a hands-on learning experience about the War Between the States.
The Fund enabled 9,000 students last year to visit battlefields and historic sites at 18 locations. This young lady received a turn

Now at Brandenburg
Following some heated discussions
and seven months of deliberation, a
Louisville Confederate monument
has been relocated to Brandenburg.
The 70-foot memorial stood near the
University of Louisville campus.
Protestors claimed the monument

Political correctness has even invaded

contentious Civil War artworks
hanging in the state’s capitol building.
