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

The Abraham Lincoln Association:
links to Liverpool with (John Maxwell)
In this episode of American Civil War & UK History podcast, Daz is joined by author John Maxwell. Today's discussion focuses on the potential connections between the Lincoln Association and the elite of Liverpool.
Before the American Civil War, Liverpool was booming due to the import of Southern cotton. However, when the import of this cotton ceased, the wealth of the city's rich cotton merchants was put at risk.
While writing his latest book, *The Americans of Abercromby Square*, John came across an intriguing article. This article suggests a possible financial link between Liverpool's wealthy merchants and an early plot to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln
