The Hampton Roads Conference

More about the book

The pivotal meeting aboard the U.S. steamer River Queen on February 3, 1865, during the American Civil War, is often overlooked in mainstream history. This gathering aimed to negotiate peace but is dismissed as a futile effort. The book delves into the significance of this event, exploring its context and the implications it had for the war and the nation, challenging the notion that it achieved nothing and highlighting its importance in the broader narrative of the conflict.
