Those your mariners will do BIG things! We always love welcoming them to The Mariners’ for another day of engaging activities.

S/O to my awesome colleague for engaging 95 third graders- virtually! And my totally non-biased opinion is that, yes, please check our educational offerings out!!

This is going to be a great lecture with @CivilWarJon! Can't think of a better way to kick-off our 2022 Evening Lecture series with this impactful story.

[Rich Condon @RichardPCondon]

I came home today to a pleasant surprise. Many thanks to @CivilWarJon and @lyd_davis for sending along a copy of their new book, which will prove to be an amazing resource here in the Lowcountry!

Congratulations to @CivilWarJon and @lyd_davis on the publication of this @uvapress book. As Jon's colleague and Lydia's prof., it's been a pleasure to watch them collaborate. Their book represents the incredible potential of the liberal arts education @CNUcaptains offers.

[Jack Miller Center @JackMillerCtr]

JMC fellow @CivilWarJon and @lyd_davis have recently co-edited a collection of correspondence from Harriet M. Buss, a teacher of former slaves in the South during the Civil War and Reconstruction. The volume is available for order now! #newbook #nonfiction https://t.co/tU8ZBdMaB5

The saddest part of it all to me is the Jesus banners, the Christian flags, and the crosses. I’m embarrassed as a Christ follower. This is not God-honoring what is happening in our nation’s capital. Christians, we must stand against this.

[Jonathan White @CivilWarJon]

It just occurred to me that this election is following the plot of The Notebook:

- A white house
- Mail that wasn’t received
- A lot of fighting
- It wasn’t over
- It still isn’t over
