Guests examined the social, political, and military history of the Civil War era from the perspective of the Confederacy through the writings of Mary Chesnut. Her journals detailed life in the antebellum South, South Carolina’s secession from the Union, and the daily lives of participants in the Civil War.

The program was telecast from Mulberry Plantation where she lived before and throughout the war. Several original documents relating to her life and the war were shown and an actor portraying Mary Chesnut spoke. close
