The Civil Warriors Round Table will hold its
next meeting at 7PM on Wednesday, October
16th, at Weiler’s Deli in West Hills, CA.
Doctor Dave Schrader will visit to talk about
“Meet the Abolitionists! From Slavery to
Celebration.”
Dr. Dave Schrader presents his companion piece to his
recent talk to the Civil Warriors, “The Fire Eaters.”
Ever wonder how a typical Northerner was led to
support abolition? Long before the war, numerous
Northern opinion leaders shaped the news, attitudes,
and meetings to get Northerners behind the cause.
Who were these men and women? What messages did
they use? What events before the war helped drive
opinions towards abolition? How did they manage to
persuade so many people to give up their peaceful lives
and go to war? In this talk, Dr. Dave Schrader
answers these questions and more, describing the lives
and activities of the top 5 anti-slavery movement
leaders.
Dr. Dave Schrader has been giving CWRT talks to
Los Angeles audiences since 2013. He is
particularly fascinated by “the rest of the story” –
for example, the activities of support
organizations such as the Signal Corps, the
Quartermaster, and Commissary Corps. Or
people like Lincoln’s Secretaries or his
Ambassadors that played a pivotal role in
supporting the President and his policies. In this
talk, it’s the Fire-Eaters who drummed up
support for secession in the south, vs. the
Abolitionists who swayed public opinion in the
north. Most of his talks are interactive so be
prepared for audience participation!
As always, come join us before the program starts.
Our members start assembling around 6PM for
refreshments like the Weilers deli sandwich
dinner and for the camaraderie of their fellow
Civil Warriors. Meeting attendance is $5 which
includes soft drinks, cookies and an entry in our
book drawing. The sandwich dinner is $18 which
includes attendance, a deli sandwich and exclusive
Weilers side dishes. If you wish to partake of the
dinner, please RSVP before noon of 10/16/19 to
the Civil Warriors at: cwrtsfv@gmail.com
and your dinner will be available when you
arrive. Guests, new members and returning
members are always welcome to join us for this
and future meetings! If you can’t make this
meeting, please consider one of our exciting
upcoming meetings noted in our Future
