My topic for the final project is ‘Copperheads’ (Southern supporters) and Slavery in Union County, featuring local Civil War re-enactors. I plan to divide the project into three sections: one on ‘Copperheads’ (Southern supporters), another on slavery within Union County, and the last on local Civil War re-enactors. Correspondingly, I intend to conduct three interviews, each focusing on one of these topics.
Project Plan:
Section 1: ‘Copperheads’ (Southern Supporters)
- Interviewee: Prospective interview with Isabella O’Neill from the archives. Her expertise and access to archival materials will provide a strong foundation for understanding the Copperheads’ perspective.
Section 2: Slavery in Union County
- Interviewee: A historian or knowledgeable individual from Union County,: To gain insights into the history and impact of slavery in Union County.
Section 3: Local Civil War Re-enactors
- Plan to seek advice from Jim Pangburn. While not an interview, this interaction aims to gather extensive information and guidance, especially for the writing aspect of the project.
- Although interviews are expected to be in-person, the consultation with Jim Pangburn is primarily for project guidance rather than formal interviewing.
