New York embarked upon a Centennial Commemoration program that emphasized the ideals of the conflict instead of just the battlefield events. In doing so, the New York Civil War Centennial Commission (NYCWCC) became a model for other commissions and foreshadowed the coming Civil Rights Movement. The NYCWCC officially began commemorating the Centennial on April 17th 1961 with its First Statewide Assembly. Bruce Catton addressed the audience "The Civil War was about something. It was fought for something. And let us never for a moment forget it won somethingthe war was fought for freedom". He went on to directly equate that freedom with the end of slavery and the experience of the African American in the Civil War. While the service of the NYCWCC was short lived, it had a profound effect not just on the Civil War Centennial within New York State but across the nation. This effect was not just in the realm of good programming, but in linking commemoration to present day concern. Articles in this issue addressed Meagher's Fighting Irishmen, a Hudson River Experiment, Christmas in Camp, and a Yank's Confederate Cane. The state of New York during the American Civil War was a major influence in national politics, the Union war effort, and the media coverage of the war. New York was the most populous state in the Union during the Civil War, and provided more troops to the U. S. army than any other state, as well as several significant military commanders and leaders. New York sent 400,000 men to the armed forces during the war. 22,000 soldiers died from combat wounds; 30,000 died from disease or accidents; 36 were executed. The state government spent $38 million on the war effort; counties, cities and towns spent another $111 million, especially for recruiting bonuses. The voters were sharply divided politically. A significant anti-war movement emerged, particularly in the mid- to late-war years. The Democrats were divided between War Democrats who supported the war and Copperheads who wanted an early peace. Republicans divided between moderates who supported Lincoln, and Radical Republicans who demanded harsh treatment of the rebel states. New York provided William H. Seward as Lincoln's Secretary of State, as well as several important voices in Congress. The press, largely based in New York City, helped shape and mold state and national opinion. The New York Tribune influenced Republican editorials across the country. Influential magazines included Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. Thomas Nast was among the early political cartoonists. In the decades after the war ended, numerous memorials and monuments were erected across New York to commemorate specific regiments, units, and officers associated with the war effort. Several archives and repositories, as well as historical societies, hold archives and collections of relics and artifacts.
