This program highlights the relationship between General George G. Meade and his wife, Margaretta. The daughter of a prominent Philadelphian politician, Margaretta Sergeant married George Meade on December 31, 1840. Without question, Margaretta was Meade’s most intimate confident and loyalist, a relationship that sustained Meade through the trials of the American Civil War.
