Members of the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy presented two framed prints to Magness Library Tuesday to be displayed as part of the facility’s commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, which ran from 1861 to 1865.According to library director Brad Walker the prints came from a large format book that had been at Magness for such a long time it had actually begun to come apart at the binding. The decision was made to remove the prints and have them framed.UDC members Reba Prater and Ginger Latham were on hand to explain why the organization got involved.“Our UDC chapter, the Col. John H. Savage chapter, paid to have them framed for the Civil War display,” said Latham.The battles depicted in the prints were Shiloh and the Battle of Chattanooga, chosen because they were fought in Tennessee.Prater noted the UDC actually prefers to call the conflict that set brother against brother and divided the nation the “War Between the States,” rather than the Civil War, noting there was nothing civil about it. She believes we should pay tribute to the southerners who fought bravely in the war.“They were honorable and they fought for what they believed in,” Prater said.“One of the things we’re doing for the sesquicentennial is to have a display of some of these framed,” Walker said.
