AFTERNOON TALK : THE US CIVIL WAR

The US Civil War

Following up on our earlier look at the US, we now have a talk on an important part of US history - the US Civil war - a historical scar that still endures to this day. We'll be hearing from Peter Zacharatos of the NSW Chapter of the American Civil War Round Table of Australia.

Peter will be talking both about the history of the US Civil War, and why it remains relevant today.

ABOUT HUMANISM
Humanism is a flexible, open-minded life philosophy where we explore our common humanity in an awesome world without theism (religion) and other supernatural beliefs. There is no dogma but a shared reality and an appreciation of basic human values like compassion, reason, and fairness. Humanism can be seen in the best aspects of the modern Enlightenment - secularism, science, social democracy, human rights, and human flourishing. We have a concern for the biosphere, and a delight in the world as it is - and as it could be. Our discussions respect reason, respect one another, and reject all dogmatic thinking.
