This camp is about warfare and examines battles that had very heavy casualties.  Battles are covered from a high level e.g. how was in charge, what ground was gained, what errors were made, how did they impact the outcome of the war.  We do not get into any graphic detail of the violence of warfare - only that large number soldiers on both sides were casualties - some dead, some wounded, some prisoners of war.  There is mention that a Confederate commanding general, A.S. Johnston, bleeds to death due to a nicked artery and lack of proper medical attention - that's as as graphic as it gets. 

I try my very best to take a neutral approach to the politics and issues of the war.  Slavery is common considered a cause of the war and this class acknowledges it's existence as historical fact, but we do not debate or discuss it as an issue in the class.  For example, brief mention is made that Sherman liberated slaves in his campaigns, although he wasn't an abolitionist, and some of the emancipated slaves id not survive the conditions (exposure, shortage of food).  For example, it is mentioned that there was an interpretation of the war called the "Myth of the Lost Cause" that was popular in the South that was one of the early factors that downplayed the importance of the western theater, but the position taken on slavery in that myth is not discussed or debated.
