Dear Sir/Ma'am,
Received this email from your organization and was taken aback at first on a history museum seemingly swimming in political waters. Though as it seems that this is your modus operandi I certainly hope that as you, "offer resources and programs designed to aid with historical understanding, as well as opportunities to listen and learn from one another. Help us do our part to bring healing to these 400-year-old wounds," that you share the truth in such things as the slave trading industry of the northern states, the honest views of an overwhelming majority of northerners on the black race and "honest Abe's," own views on the black race. While on the topic it may be shared that the war was fought as most wars over the two main concerns of power and money. How would the United States fund itself if the South had been allowed to leave in peace? These items are in our history though do not seem to be at the forefront of our education system nor our historical museums. I support you in your endeavor to "share the truth," please do so.

We are heartbroken. We mourn the loss of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the countless other victims of racial violence.This violence has roots in the history of the Civil War era. So is reason for hope. At the American Civil War Museum, we seek to understand and illuminate this past, and how it lives on in our present.Over the next few weeks, we will offer resources and programs designed to aid with historical understanding, as well as opportunities to listen and learn from one another.Help us do our part to bring healing to these 400-year-old wounds.
