On this episode we are joined by Historian and National Park Service Ranger Matt Borders. Matt provides a wonderful breakdown of the American Civil War. He takes us step by step providing a clear detailed breakdown of the issues that led to the war. Matt then takes us on the journey starting in 1860 where South Carolina secedes from the Union, followed by additional Southern States secession at the start of 1861, to the Confederates firing upon Fort Sumter, kicking off the Civil War. He then goes year by year breaking down some of the key battles during the Civil War, key figures during the war including Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, George Meade, and the spy network that existed on both the Union and Confederate sides. He then takes us to the Battle of Appomattox ultimately leading to Robert E. Lee’s signing the document of surrender. From there he covers the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the post-war. We then talked to Matt about several books he co-authored including Faces of Union Soldiers at Antietam, Faces of Union Soldiers at Culp’s Hill, and Faces of Union Soldiers at South Mountain and Harpers Ferry.
