Pea Ridge National Military Park
Garfield, AR
Pea Ridge National Military Park preserves the site of a pivotal Civil War battle in the Trans-Mississippi Theater. While primarily focused on the military conflict, the battle involved diverse forces, including some Native American units, and its outcome had implications for the broader struggle over the institution of slavery and the future of the nation.
Counter-Narrative
The myth this site refutes: that Black Americans were not trusted to fight for the country. They fought — and were still denied the rights they defended.
