A question about the supplemental the schofield supplement to the surrender terms. How were they received in washington and were they successfully carried out . What i think happened is when they reached washington about a week later, they saw it as an accomplished fact. The most controversial provision would have been letting 1 in 7 confederates keep their weapons. I think they felt that would not be too harmful. I would say that and i did not go into this because i did not have time there was a great deal of furor up north about the terms because secretary stanton had sent his reasons for his approving them to the newark times to the New York Times where they become public knowledge. Sherman was furious and he found out. Amid all of that, the supplemental terms slipped through without much notice. We do know they were approved. Time for another question if anyone has one. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it most of [applause] we do have two of marx books marks books here. So grab mar
It is about an hour. I want to introduce our speaker for the morning, Robert Dunkley is a historian awardwinning author, he has a degree in history from st. Vincent. He has worked at nine different historic sites, most recently on Richmond National battlefield park. He has written two books that are specifically listed. Im sure he will be talking about them today. I think we have at least one of them in the bookstore, the most recent one. To be bitter end, and the other one is the confederate of greensboro. His talk today will be on the forgotten territories. I hope he might mention florida a little once or twice. It was one of the regimens that was one of the last surrendered groups. Bert dunkley.
