Members of The Lincoln Association of Jersey City are participating in events sponsored by the New Jersey Civil War Heritage Association to mark the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War.

The start of the formal ceremonies will be in 2011 and continue to 2015.

Unlike the American evolution, no military battles were fought here, but there were many conflicts between Abolitionists and Pro-Slavery citizens.The website for the NJCWHA is www.njcwha.com.
