SUMMARY:October Engagement - Antebellum U.S. Congress - Virtual Engagement 
 via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Dr. Rachel Shelden presents on the Antebellum U.S. C
 ongress.&nbsp\; Please note that this meeting is being arranged for a Zoom
  virtual presentation.&nbsp\;\nThe 1850s might have featured some of the m
 ost famous and violent arguments in American history\, but in Washington\,
  congressmen entered a social and political atmosphere that bred a sense o
 f community and brotherhood. Ultimately\, that atmosphere created a "Washi
 ngton bubble" that left many congressmen unprepared for secession and war 
 in 1861.\nDr. Shelden is an Associate Professor of American History at Pen
 n State University\, specializing in the long Civil War Era\, from the Jac
 ksonian Period through Reconstruction.&nbsp\; She is also the Director of 
 the George and Ann Richards Civil War Era Center at Penn State.&nbsp\; Dr.
  Shelden's research and teaching interests include slavery and abolition\,
  the Civil War\, the U.S. South\, and political and constitutional history

 cial Life\, &amp\; the Coming of the Civil War&nbsp\;(University of North 
 Carolina Press\, 2013)\, which received honorable mention for the Wiley-Si
 lver Prize for the best first book on the American Civil War and was a sel
