Civil War: Emancipation, Devastation, and the Battle Over Memory
The Civil War reshaped America forever. In this episode, we unpack the war’s turning points—from Gettysburg to the Emancipation Proclamation—highlighting Black soldiers' vital role, the rise of industrial warfare, and the staggering human toll. But the war didn’t end in 1865. The Lost Cause narrative redefined its meaning for generations. How does this contested memory still shape America today?
