David Mann Season 7 Episode 2

Journalist and author Julian Sher joins the show to discuss his latest book, The North Star. Julian walks us through the eerie history for Canadians that supported the South during the Civil War. Don't miss how Toronto and Montreal became vital meeting places and refuges for the Confederates, and how some Canadian church leaders were among those who were on the wrong side of history. And, the way faith led Abraham Lincoln to become increasingly opposed to slavery.
