Abstract
This groundbreaking exhibition developed by the New-York Historical Society examines the causes, progression, and consequences of one of the most controversial events of the 20th century. The exhibition examines how the divisive war challenged democracy and the foundations of American life. A compelling range of artifacts and interactive digital media help to convey the story, including the contributions made by Western Pennsylvanians to the war and the conficts it raised here in the region.
