U.S. Civil War Quote:
"The time for compromise has now passed, and the South is determined to maintain her position, and make all who oppose her smell Southern powder and feel Southern steel."
- Jefferson Davis used these words in his inaugural speech on February 16, 1861
KCWRT has conducted fund raisers to support numerous preservation efforts over the years. Generally, this is in the form of a donation to a preservation fund organized to save a specific Civil War site from development.
The Kalamazoo Civil War Round Table was founded in 1957 to support an interest in the American Civil War. We are devoted to education, social exchange, and historic preservation. Meetings are free and open to all regardless of race, religion, gender, or knowledge of the Civil War. Guests and visitors are always welcome.
