In the American Civil War, the North and the South battled to create their own versions of a free nation. But who were the individuals in uniform, fighting and dying for their side? Dr. Lynn Price Robbins and Isaac Loftus welcome historian and author Kevin M. Levin as he explains why it has long been believed that black soldiers fought for the South, and why that story is nothing more than a myth.
