A United States but a Divided America: How We have Celebrated the Nation’s Birthday During Turbulent Times
Join the Georgia Historical Society and the UVA Club of Savannah for an evening of history and conversation as we explore how the national marked its centennial after the Civil War and its bicentennial amid the upheavals of the 1960s, Vietnam, Watergate, and the Cold War – revealing how earlier generations navigated political and social division during major national milestones.
The program will feature a lively discussion between Dr. William Hitchcock and Dr. Elizabeth Varon, professors of history at the University of Virginia, and GHS Senior Historian Dr. Stan Deaton.
This event is part of the 2025-2026 Georgia History Festival and GHS’s US250 commemoration, and will take place on Thursday, February 26, at 6:00 p.m. at Christ Church Episcopal in Savannah.
