The Civil Warriors Round Table will hold its
first meeting of 2021 at 7PM PST on
Wednesday, January 13, via Zoom. We will
be hosting an online presentation by Dr.
Charles Poland who will talk about his book
“America’s Good Terrorist: John Brown and
the Harpers Ferry Raid.”
Doctor Poland will be presenting the story of
“America’s Good Terrorist: John Brown and the
Harpers Ferry Raid.” Was John Brown a
madman or martyred hero who used terror to
right what he considered an intolerable wrong,
slavery? The talk will explore Brown’s
background and the context to his decision to
conduct the raid; the narrative of the raid itself and the consequence of the raid for both those involved and for America; and, an exploration of Brown’s legacy.
Dr. Charles Poland has taught history for more
than five decades, touching the lives of thousands
of students and community members in Northern
Virginia. A scholar of the American Civil War, he
promotes direct engagement with history and its
tools. For example, from 1977 to 2015 he
conducted celebrated field-trips courses to the
major and minor battlefields of the Civil War. He
is the creator of a mobile Civil War Museum with
hundreds of artifacts and documents that he
toured to public school across the region. The
author of eight books, he has appeared on
television and radio and made countless
presentations to historic, civic, and educational
groups on the Civil War and the impact of
unfettered development in Northern Virginia.
We will be meeting via the Zoom meeting
app. We will send out the meeting on-line
connection information shortly before our
