- **Event Name**: Second Friday Lecture: How the Great Lakes Caused the Civil War
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 10 Apr, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: The Civil War was won, and the American Republic was saved because of the remarkable contributions of men, supplies, and leaders provided by the states of the Great Lakes region. These are the states that created the Republican Party. Something more than slavery was behind their deep resentment of the Confederacy. Join us for a program detailing how navigation issues exasperated sectional relations in the years before the war and how Union victory transformed our region.
