Lecture: Cause and Effect, the Richmond Home Front In 1863

In March and May of 1863, a fire at Tredegar Ironworks and an explosion on Browns Island created a shortfall of arms and ammunition the Confederacy needed for the war effort.  Ed Sanders, historian, from the Richmond National Battlefield will give detailed commentary on damages done to the Confederate war machine and its effect on the outcome of the Gettysburg Campaign in the summer of 1863.
