Stories of the Dependants

The exhibition seeks to tell the stories of the dependents of those killed during the Civil War. All of the stories will demonstrate the severe and lasting impact that these deaths had on the families of those left behind. The stories explore the social aspects and social mores of life in the emerging state. They will also highlight the often terse and bureaucratic interactions between families struggling with loss and government officials.
