Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s often said that "victors write the history," so it’s no surprise that the Civil War is usually over-simplified into a good versus evil fight over slavery. But the secession of the Southern states was much more than that. Historian William Davis joins Kojo to discuss the politics, culture, and psychology of the Confederacy.
Guests
- William C. Davis Author, "Look Away! A History of the Confederate States of America" (Free Press); Director of Programs at the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies at Virginia Tech.
