Texas, Slavery, and the Confederate Cause
 
Dwight T. Pitcaithley, PhD
Dr. Pitcaithley's presentation will focus on the secession of the southern states between Lincoln's election and the firing on Ft. Sumter.  Drawing from his extensive research in the proceedings of Congress, the eleven secession conventions, Tennessee and Kentucky legislatures, and the Washington Peace Convention, he will explore secession from the perspective of the South's elected officials.

Dr. Dwight T. Pitcaithley is a professor of history at New Mexico State University. Dr. Pitcaithley served as Chief Historian of the National Park Service from 1995 until 2005. He began his career with the NPS as a seasonal laborer at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in 1963 and later served in Santa Fe, Boston, and Washington, D.C. before becoming Chief Historian in 1995. He is the author of The U.S. Constitution and Secession: A Documentary Anthology of Slavery and White Supremacy (2018) and has contributed chapters to Becoming Historians (2009), Slavery and Public History: The Tough Stuff of American Memory (2006), and several other historical texts.
