History

Carlisle is a borough in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania County, Pennsylvania, 18 miles (29 km) west by southwest of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania the State capital. The borough was shelled by the Confederate States of America on July 1, 1863, during the Battle of Carlisle, part of the Gettysburg Campaign of the American Civil War. In 1787 Carlisle was the scene of a riot instigated by Anti-Federalists in response to a planned march in favor of the US constitution. The US Army War College, located at the Carlisle Barracks, caters to high-level military personnel and civilians and prepares them for strategic leadership responsibilities. However, some view the Carlisle School as the first of many schools that were used for "cultural genocide" of American Indians.
