500    The first in a series of annual Signature Conferences 
       sponsored by the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American
       Civil War Commission, "America on the Eve of the Civil 
       War" was held in April 2009. 
504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
505 0  Opening remarks -- Taking stock of the nation in 1859 -- 
       The future of Virginia and the South -- First question-and
       -answer session -- Making sense of John Brown's raid -- 
       Predictions for the election of 1860 -- Second question-
       and-answer session -- Closing remarks -- Conclusion : 
       marking the Civil War sesquicentennial, will we do better 
       this time? 
520    Little happened in 1859 that would have told Americans 
       there were on the precipice of a continent-wide war and 
       the end of the most powerful slave society in the world. 
       Yet, within eighteen months of the end of 1859 conflict 
       descended on the nation and familiar characters were 
       playing unfamiliar roles. Robert E. Lee was in command of 
       troops at Harpers Ferry. Tom Jackson was a math professor 
       at VMI, though he will lead cadets to ensure order at the 
       hanging of John Brown at the very end of the year. Sam 
       Grant was a bill collector in St. Louis, and "Cump" 
       Sherman was heading a military school in Louisiana. 
       Jefferson Davis was a senator, and Abraham Lincoln was a 
       successful lawyer and failed senatorial candidate
