Many of you know cassandra from the 2010 virginia civil war sus question centennial conference, held at norfolk state on slavery and the civil war. The tough stuff of American History and memory. She was the director of that conference. I first met cassandra at a conference in 2006 at ft. Monroe. It was interesting, that conference was cohosted by the museum of the confederacy and the United States army. I think it was the first time that those two were ever allies in an effort. [ laughter ] and she gave a brilliant presentation about how the concept of fleeing slaves coming into union lines came to be known as contraband of war.

Presentation about how the concept of fleeing slaves coming into union lines came to be known as contraband of war. She is now a member of our historians advisory committee. Shes helping us create the exhibits for the new Civil War Museum. This is cassandras first time to address an American Civil War museum audience. And we are very pleased to have her with us. Ladies and gentlemen, dr. Cassandra newbyalexander. [ applause ] good morning. As we commemorate the person of the year 1865 i offer my nomination for your consideration as the person who has done more to define that year than anyone else. 1865 was the last year of the civil war. It was the culmination of four very bloody years that changed america. And while many deny this reality, my person of the year was the reason america had actually been to war.

Camaraderie, the french that was felt. It was such a relief. Lets pray that this is just the beginning, and i think it is. I think there is determination here to take this bipartisanship even further. We have seen it during the course of this year with the comprehensive immigration bill, passage of the farm bill, and now the senate, a Bipartisan Senate rose to the occasion and wrote this deadlock and took the lead is to do it. Fd into need to show that and hope that the speaker, the house of representatives, and other members as well will watch carefully as the American People react.

Standard 7 and 8 7 is mentioned sandblasting again, surface cleaning. That was more of an issue in the past than the present. And standard 8 is the idea of repair rather than replace. You want to fix something if its fixable, especially if its an important feature to replace the property. The final ones, i think the ones well spend much of today talking about are standards 9 and 10 are new additions and alterations. Nine focuses on not destroying historic materials and says the new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the scale and architectural features.
