Abstract
The Civil War is one of the most, if not the most important event in American history. The war was tragic and transformational. Over 620,000 Americans died and millions more were wounded. Yet it also resulted in the freedom of over 4 million slaves. These and other transformational changes have gripped Americans from the end of the war to the present. With the approach of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, also called the Sesquicentennial, it is believed that interest in the Civil War will grow. Markers, monuments, sites, and structures will become popular resources through which to analyze, commemorate, and educate about the Civil War. For this reason, information about Civil War resources in the Cincinnati area should be gathered for the benefit of individuals, organizations, and communities. This thesis evaluates the significance of local Civil War resources by: 1) researching the Civil War, cultural resources, and cultural resource studies to understand the importance of cultural resources for society and to develop a framework through which to conduct a local assessment; 2) collecting and analyzing information about local Civil War resources. From the information collected about local resources, findings are discussed and recommendations are offered as to how the Cincinnati Area may strategically plan for and address its local Civil War resources.
