Could we ever fathom the sheer enormity of a nation torn asunder by its own people?

That's the journey we embark on, as Geoffrey Ward, alongside Rick and Ken Burns, guide us through the harrowing and transformative years of the American Civil War in their seminal work, "The Civil War: An Illustrated History."

As your host, David Kaiser, I invite you to unearth the pivotal moments that not only forged a new America but also signaled the end of an era defined by slavery and aristocracy.

This isn't just a story of battlefields and generals—it's the tale of ordinary individuals caught in the whirlwind of history's most intimate and devastating conflict.

To understand the United States at its soul; you must understand the American Civil War.   

lets begin our journey!

Key Points from the Episode:

• We converse with the echoes of a past that still whispers its lessons today, revealing the true scale of human sacrifice and the spirit of a nation redefining its destiny. 
• From the blood-soaked grounds of Shiloh to the vehement speeches of Abraham Lincoln, we trace the threads of freedom, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of a 'new birth of freedom.' 
• This episode is a solemn remembrance and a profound examination of how the Civil War etched its indelible mark on the American soul, a testament to the lives lost and the unyielding resilience that would eventually bind the nation's wounds. 

Join us for a historical odyssey that uncovers the essence of the United States, forged amidst the flames of its most defining trial.
