In addi- tion to dynamic lectures, colorful audio-visual presentations, and lively class discussions of period sources, it also features innovative immersion experiences designed to convey visceral impressions of the conflict. Parade-ground drill and battlefield maneuvers provide a taste of everyday soldiering, as does coffee and hardtack around the campfire at the closing discussion. The smell of burning powder and the recoil of muskets during the live fire exercise add further authenticity, likewise the end-of-the-semester field trip to Ap- pomattox Courthouse. All take their justification from author Shelby Foote’s contention that “any understanding of this nation needs to be based—and I mean really based—on an understanding of the Civil War.” Prerequisite: HIS 1033, 1043, 2013, 2023, or Instructor’s Permission.
