About this episode
CJ has recently started making his highly acclaimed series on the US Civil War available as collected volumes of approximately 4-5 hours apiece, with all the ads & announcements/housekeeping stuff from the original episodes cut out.
These can be purchased a la carte from CJ’s Patreon Shop, or you can get access to them at no extra charge if you sign up to support CJ via Patreon for $25/month or more.
For your listening pleasure, here’s the very first episode of that series, first published 8 years ago, in Dec. 2016.
Join CJ as he discusses:
The secession of the seven states of the Deep South following the election of Abraham Lincoln
The formation of the Confederate States of America, including its constitution
The accession to office of the Lincoln Administration
The firing on Fort Sumter
Sumter’s impact on the North and the South, including the secession of the Upper South
Lincoln’s actions to try to keep the Border States in the Union, by any means necessary
Preparations for war & early skirmishes
The Battle of Manassas (or First Bull Run) and its impact
Julia Ward Howe’s “Battle Hymn of the Republic” (written in Nov. 1861) as portent of the total war-crusade to come
