Reproduced in large format from the original antique photographs\, these images are selections from the Liljenquist Family Collection of Civil War Photographs and the Gladstone Collection of African American photographs\, both of which are housed at the Library of Congress\, Washington\, D.C. These photographs are visual reminders of the pride\, determination\, and sense of destiny that filled these men with a profound resolve as they sought a rightful place in the fabric of this nation for themselves and an entire people. The portraits in this exhibit are supplemented with biographical research\, original period documents\, artifacts\, and historically-accurate reconstructions.</p>\n<p><b>Website</b>: <a href="http://www.caamuseum.org/web_pages/current_exhibitions_am_civil_war.htm"><span>http://www.caamuseum.org/web_pages/current_exhibitions_am_civil_war.htm</span></a></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>
