The Virginia Center for Civil War Studies presents the lecture "Cherokee Lost Causes in Civil War Appalachia" on Monday, September 8, 2025 in the Solitude Room at the Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center.
Virginia Center for Civil War Studies Postdoctoral Associate Stuart Marshall explores how Cherokees who remained in their homeland after the Trail of Tears regrouped to face the next crisis of disunion. By volunteering for Confederate military service, Cherokees had hoped to strengthen their right to remain, only to suffer defeat and dispersal. In the postwar world, Cherokee politicians crafted their own Lost Cause narratives to confront new threats of disenfranchisement.
The talk is free and open to the public.
The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center is located at 901 Prices Fork Road in Blacksburg, VA.
