Frankfort Civil War Round Table: Confederates in British North America After the American Civil War

Cassy Jane "CJ" Werking will examine President Andrew Johnson's liberal granting of presidential pardons to ex-Confederates after the American Civil War, focusing on the Confederates who exploited the border between Canada and the United States during the war.

Werking, originally from Albany, New York, is a PhD candidate in history at the University of Kentucky. She is currently working on her dissertation that examines the international border between Canada and the United States during the American Civil War, specifically the Confederate attacks that were planned and executed across the border into the Union home front.

Sponsored by the Frankfort Civil War Round Table, Capital City Museum, and PSPL.
