SUMMARY:Evening Lecture: First Footsteps of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:From Slavery to Service: Black U.S. Soldiers in the Civil War\nThe Bartow History Museum will host historian Brad Quinlin for a powerful presentation examining the lives and service of formerly enslaved men who became U.S. soldiers during the Civil War. \nIn 1864\, these newly freed men were assigned as stretcher bearers during the Atlanta Campaign\, moving across the battlefields of Resaca\, Kennesaw Mountain\, Vinings Station\, and Atlanta.

Drawing from personal accounts and historical documentation\, the presentation highlights the courage\, resilience\, and humanity of these men during and after the war. \nQuinlin’s work is grounded in more than 30 years of research and over 500\,000 documents collected from the National Archives in Washington\, D.C.\, bringing depth and clarity to a chapter of Civil War history that deserves wider recognition. \nAbout the Speaker\nBrad Quinlin is a lifelong student of American history with a focus on the Civil War.

SUMMARY:Evening Lecture: Cherokees in the Revolutionary Era - Diplomacy\, Conflict\, and Peace
DESCRIPTION:Cherokees in the Revolutionary Era: Diplomacy\, Conflict\, and Peace\nJoin the Bartow History Museum in Cartersville\, Georgia\, for Cherokees in the Revolutionary Era: Diplomacy\, Conflict\, and Peace\, an engaging evening lecture exploring the Cherokee experience during the American Revolutionary War. Historian Dr. Alice Taylor-Colbert highlights key North Georgia leaders\, including Dragging Canoe\, and the establishment of the Lower Towns that emerged in the region. \nDr. Taylor-Colbert examines how the French and Indian War (1754-1763) shaped Cherokee diplomacy\, alliances\, and interactions with both Great Britain and the American colonies. As tensions escalated during the Revolutionary era\, Cherokee leaders faced difficult choices – some pursued neutrality\, while others aligned with the British – revealing internal divisions that mirrored those among Loyalists and Patriots. \nThe lecture also explores how Cherokee communities in Georgia and the Southeast rebuilt\, negotiated peace\, and adapted in the Revolution’s aftermath\, offering a deeper understanding of Indigenous resilience and strategy during this transformative period. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Alice Taylor-Colbert specializes in early American history\, Native American history\, and Cherokee studies\, with a focus on the Revolutionary era in the Southeastern United States. Her research highlights Indigenous perspectives and brings to light the Cherokee Nation’s critical role in 18th-century Georgia. \nThis program is part of the Revolutionary Perspectives Speaker Series\, supported by the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission. \nAdmission:\n\nFree for Bartow History Museum members\n$9 for non-members\n\nExplore Cherokee history\, North Georgia history\, and Indigenous perspectives on the American Revolution at the Bartow History Museum. \nGet Your Tickets Here
