American History GazetteThe Civil War in the Age of NationalismNiels Eichhorn and Duncan Campbell are co-authors of "The Civil War in the Age of Nationalism." While historians have acknowledged that the issues of race, slavery, and emancipation were not unique to the American Civil War, they have less frequently recognized the conflict’s similarities to other global events.

Author ConversationsThe Civil War Battles of MaconOn this episode we learn the intriguing history of Macon, GA during the Civil War.
Macon was a cornerstone of the Confederacy’s military-industrial complex. As a transportation hub, the city supplied weapons to the Confederacy, making it a target once the Union pushed into Georgia in 1864. In the course of the war’s last year, Macon faced three separate cavalry assaults. The battles were small in the grand scheme but salient for the combatants and townspeople.
