Abstract:
With the 150th anniversary of the Civil War arriving soon, the effects of the war are still felt in several ways. The way the event is being celebrated angers some, but has changed to include diverse views and be more inclusive than celebrations in the past. However, some groups still celebrate the South as they believe it was and should be through hate groups. Modern connections are also drawn between the exploitation of people and the modern exploitation of the environment. Historians and archivists share their opinions on the effects of the war, what has changed, and what hasn’t.

Abstract:
Soldiers spent very little time in actual combat during the Civil War. Most of their time, particularly during winter camp, they spent staving off boredom. Neither the Confederate or Federal governments invested in recreational or educational activities for their soldiers. One outlet soldiers found was singing. During the period, 1861-1865, over 500 songs were written and published as sheet music. Songs such as “The Shiloh Victory,†“Manassas Polka,†“Sumpter, A Battle of 1861,†and “Home, Sweet Home†gained popularity during the war. At times, both sides engaged in singing duels across the lines with each side trying to sing louder than the other, while other times both sides would join and sing together. Regiments formed glee clubs and bands, with some members gaining fame. One famous soldier-musician was Sidney Lanier. He was a popular flutist who later became the first flutist of the Peabody Symphony Orchestra. Lanier also gained fame as a writer.
