St. Ambrose lecture comes to Stoughton
STOUGHTON — The St. Ambrose Academy Faculty Lecture Series will be held on Monday, Oct. 21, from 7 to 8 p.m. at St. Ann Parish in Stoughton.
The newest faculty member at St. Ambrose, Michael Kwas, will share his research on “Conspiracy! Catholics, Anti-Catholicism, and Political Corruption in Civil War Era Wisconsin.”
During its first 15 years of statehood, Wisconsin witnessed a proliferation of real and imagined cases of corruption and conspiracy so extreme that the New York Tribune claimed, “Wisconsin is lost to honor; the home of corrupt politicians, and the home of a degraded people.” Anti-Catholic prejudice was often at the center of these cases.
