ATLANTA HISTORY CENTER
Civil War re-enactors will be on hand during the family-friendly event.
‘Bread riot’ part of Civil War
event at Atlanta History Center
BY JOE EARLE

With re-enactors portraying soldiers,
and actors portraying civilians, the At
lanta History Center plans on March 16
to present a family-friendly look at life
both on the front lines and on the home
front during the Civil War.
“Citizens and Soldiers: The Civil
War,” part of the center’s observance of
the 150th anniversary of the Civil War,
includes watching antique rifles being
fired, learning to march or trying to en
list in the army, and an opportunity to
take part in a bread riot, officials at the
center say.
“I think it will give guests a great idea
of what was happening on the home
front as well as the battlefield,” said Cary
Ann Moody, manager of public pro
grams for the center, said of the event.
Take that bread riot. “Bread riots
were taking place all over the Southeast,”
Moody said. “These were led by women.
Throughout the Southeast, women were
looting stores because they were unable
to buy the items they needed to survive.”
So, during the program, participants
will have a chance to join in a march to a
local store to demand pre-war prices on
necessary goods, such as shoes, Moody
said. Actors will lead the debate.
