The Civil War, 150 Years Later

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the American History Guys offer up a special three-part series of hour-long episodes. In part one, they look at the dramatic six months leading up to the outbreak of war. In part two, they explore the question of what motivated ordinary people on both sides to actually pick up weapons and fight. And in part three , the History Guys take questions from BackStory listeners about all aspects of the war and its relevance today. [NOTE TO PROGRAMMERS: THESE EPISODES CAN BE PROGRAMMED AS A SERIES OR INDIVIDUALLY AS STANDALONES.]
