Formed in 1863 amidst protests over the proposed implementation of a military draft, the Thirty-third New Jersey had a controversial beginning that led to the unit being dubbed “The Mutinous Regiment.” Unlike most New Jersey regiments, the 33rd served in what was considered the west, taking part in the Atlanta Campaign as well as Sherman’s March to the Sea. After their difficult start, the officers and men of the 33rd served with distinction in these and other important campaigns. The program will describe the regiment’s founding and provide an overview of their service.
You will not want to miss this great lecture and have your questions ready for a Q & A at the end!
See you at 7!
