Archives to Host Food For Thought Lunchtime Lecture on Thursday, April 20 at 12:00 pm [Alabama Department of Archives and History] During this presentation, Ott will explore how family played a key role in encouraging Alabamians to support the Confederate cause during the Civil War. Going to war meant protecting loved ones from outsiders who threatened to turn the world upside down. Ott will discuss how many Alabamians initially viewed the Confederacy as a “family” and the state as a paternal figure who promised to protect loyal dependents throughout the conflict. As the war ravaged Alabama, the construct of a familial structure that once created a sense of loyalty became a source of power to question the war and challenge state leadership.
