Tonight we start with two trash bags full of letters. But not just any letters. Not even just Civil War Soldier letters, but much rarer. Letters from both the soldier and the letters the soldier received from his fiancée, as well as from other family members, while Charles B.

He compiled notes, photographs, letters from comrades, his own memories into 13 manuscripts volumes. But he never brought himself to complete the task of organizing and editing the material...

Intro - This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...Way back in 2011, I looked forward to reading a newly published bestseller that I thought would make a great topic for this show. It was called "50 Shades of Grey," but to my intense disappointment it turned out to be an erotic romance that had nothing at all to say about variations in Confederate military uniform manufacturing. Tonight, happily, we finally have the thoughtful study of uniforms and their meaning that...

Jaime Amanda Martinez, Confederate Slave Impressment in the Upper South. Intro - This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...Many historians, from David Herbert Donald to Stephanie McCurry, have advanced the idea that the Confederacy's war effort was hampered by ideologies of state's rights and individualism in contrast to the centralized power of the federal government. Professor Jaime Amanda Martinez says not so fast, the U.S. government never took slaves from their owners during or before the war. But the Confederate government, and states like Virginia and North Carolina, did so on a...

The hardy anti-slavery Mountaineers who wanted no part of the elite Virginia plantation owners rebellion. So in 1863 they formed their own state, secede from secession. Well, the first sentence of Dr. Scott Mckenzie's new book is Every account of West Virginia's creation is wrong. Presumably that excludes his own account, which is...

Zander, author of The Army under Fire: The Politics of Antimilitarism in the Civil War Era Intro: This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...The Civil War was fought almost entirely by vast armies of volunteer citizen soldiers, who dwarfed the tiny US regular army. The minor role that the regular Army played during the war has obscured its political significance before the war, when Republican politicians saw it as a tool of the southern slave power. And then after the war, when those same Republican's anti-military views had unintended effects o...

In the wake of such overwhelming change, resistance to immigration and immigrants metastasized, determined not only to restrict foreigners from entering the country, but to disenfranchise, demonize and occasionally terrorize those who have already arrived, settled and earned citizenship here. Now in recent years, I mean 1830 to 1860, and the rest of...

We know about the rebel armies of Johnston and North Carolina, Kirby Smith and the Trans-Mississippi. We also know that the reconstruction years that followed were marked by so much political violence that some scholars consider it consider it a guerrilla continuation of the war.
