Mission Statement

Emerging Civil War is a community of up-and-coming authors/speakers dedicated to furthering the public’s understanding of the American Civil War. Grounded in current scholarship and informed by personal research and individual experience, our historians have worked the front lines and the quiet archives. Topics span the entire Civil War era: the battles, the politics, the personalities, remembrance, and more.

We are here for a free exchange of ideas. We do encourage those with differing opinions to express their disagreements, but we expect the exchange between all to be respectful. Vulgar attacks will not be tolerated.

Please note, any opinions expressed at Emerging Civil War are those solely of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of any organization they work for.
