In October 2009, a group of scholars and Civil War 150 staff convened to begin answering the question:

What is Ohio’s Civil War story when viewed through a fresh perspective today?

The results of that day’s work and the subsequent thinking and writing of that group is now posted on the Civil War 150 website for you– whether you are a Civil War enthusiast, local history organization staff member, leader in a Civil War organization or group, or other interested individual– to review and share your feedback.   We want to know what you think!

The entire draft interpretive framework can be accessed here [PDF]. You are welcome to share your thoughts in the comments below.

For those that would like to do a more in-depth reading, the themes of the document are broken down in the discussion forums on this website, allowing you to discuss each theme more specifically.
