American History: The Civil War Years (1861-1865)   

The American Civil War was so devastating that in a United States of 31 million people there was not a family (North of South) that did not feel the shadow of death's fall. More Americans died in the Civil War than in all other American Wars combined to date, and the crippling injuries, amputations, cases of veteran drug addiction have never been satisfactorily tabulated. The damage to the infrastructure of the American South would take a century to repair. Obstreperous political leaders in both the North and South would refuse to compromise obdurate positions even when military leaders on both sides asked for a cessation of the violence and multiple leaders from both sides offered plans for peace. Join us as we discuss the politics, battles, tragedies, and (perhaps) lessons of the American Civil War.
