MY 100th EPISODE!!! I discuss the Confederate experiment in nationhood with Dr. Stephanie McCurry...and especially her book Confederate Reckoning. 

I chat with historian of Early America Michael Hattem, author of the forthcoming Past and Prologue: Politics and Memory in the American Revolution, about the work of Bernard Bailyn...and the convo is fascinating. This is the first in a series of discussions concerning major figures in American historiography - enjoy!! 

Ann and I chat about her new book: Newest Born of Nations - which details the liberal/conservative tensions embedded within Confederate nationalism in a 19th-century international context.   

Poetry and progressive politics frame the backdrop for this fascinating story - I sit down with Sherry to discuss her latest book: Bohemians West

I sit down with Cody to talk through some of the ideas in his latest: Not Even Past: The Stories We Keep Telling about the Civil War. I love this stuff...and we had a great convo! 

I sit down to discuss Dan's latest book: The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America. Listen up!! Some of these things might sound awfully familiar to you...and they go WAY back! 

I sit down with Megan and Laura to take on some particulars of the Civil War era which help us explain the war broadly defined....all outlined in their new book, American Discord: The Republic and Its People in the Civil War Era. 

Tom and I discuss his latest book, Island on Fire - about the 1831-32 slave revolt in Jamaica. 

I am very much looking forward to using Judkin and Tim's new book, An Environmental History of the Civil War in my own classroom - today we discuss some of the salient points in the book. 

Hey all - if you listen to just one of my shows...listen to this one. 

Dr. Green and I discuss the current efforts to remove Confederate monuments across the South and why this changing narrative is so vastly significant.
