Wednesday, 8 July, 2020
The Civil Warriors Round Table will hold its
next meeting of 2020 at 7PM on Wednesday,
July 8, via Zoom. We will be hosting a
presentation by fellow Civil Warrior Todd
Kislak on “A 2020 Vision of Robert E. Lee.”
Since the Civil War’s end, the image of Robert E.
Lee has been the cornerstone of the Neo-
Confederate movement. But to what extent has
the movement reflect Lee’s true values and
viewpoints? We will explore key aspects of Lee’s
worldview and how it has been applied (and
misapplied) by those committed to perpetuating
the ethos of the Lost Cause. We will look at how
the Confederate culture has impacted the South
through its post-war history, and in what ways
that culture connects both to the real and the
imagined image of Robert E. Lee.
Todd Kislak is a lifelong student of American
history with a special interest in the Civil War. He
is particularly drawn to aspects of the war that
recur through American history and have
relevance to the lives of Americans in the present
day. Todd is a business consultant serving
physicians and healthcare systems on issues such
as strategic planning, marketing and
communications. He received his BA in
Government from Wesleyan and his MBA from
Harvard.
We will be meeting via the Zoom meeting app. We
