American Civil War & UK History
**American Civil War & UK History Podcast**
The podcast was born on December 26th, 2020, and I have always been passionate about history from a young age. My interest in the American Civil War began in 2004 after watching the movie *Gettysburg*. Since then, my passion for this topic has only grown. Although I don't live in America and cannot easily access the Civil War battlefields, I reside in the beautiful county of Kent, known as the Garden of England. Kent has a rich history, which has also fueled my fascination with UK history. This inspired the name of my podcast, *American Civil War & UK History*.
While I have a general love for all history, I realized I had confined myself to specific topics. To expand my discussions, I created two other podcasts in 2024: *For the Passion of History*, where I explore various historical subjects that interest me, and *The Figures of the American Civil War*, focusing on the remarkable individuals of that period.
The goal of my platforms is to share my passion for history with like-minded individuals. Cheers,
Daz

Dan Sickles At Gettysburg with (James Hessler)
Dan Sickles At Gettysburg with (James Hessler)
In this episode of "American Civil War & UK History," Daz is joined by author and experienced battlefield guide at Gettysburg National Battlefield, James Hessler, to discuss Dan Sickles and his involvement at the Battle of Gettysburg, which took place on July 2, 1863.
Upon the outbreak of the War in 1861, Sickles became one of the war's most prominent political generals, recruiting the New York regiments that became known as the Excelsior Brigade in the Army of the Potomac. Despite his lack of military experience, he served as a brigade, division, and corps commander in some of the early Eastern campaigns. His military career ended at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863.
James is also co-host of The Battle of Gettysburg Podcast. So be sure to check that out. The links are below.
