Edge Hill University, 24th February 2022
This session is the final installment of our series looking at Liverpool’s Black History. Hosted by author and Edge Hill alumni, David Hearn, this session focuses on Liverpool’s involvement in the American Civil War. From the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861 various people in Liverpool became closely involved in assisting the Confederate States but also in making huge wealth for themselves by bringing cotton through the US Government blockade of the Southern ports. The last surrender of the war in 1865, some 6 months after the formal end of the war, took place in the Mersey.
