An excellent, sincere, and full-hearted commentary on historical facts that should never be belittled or suppressed.

I think of the straw foots whenever I hear people discuss the deep philosophy of the war. How much could they have understood about the larger issues if they didn't know their right from their left?

Such an interesting History podcast which really helped me to prepare the brilliant report for my college. At this site https://samploon.com/free-essays/civil-war/ I have also found some essay samples about Civil War which could be really useful for everyone who studies history.

I don't see an issue with their voices at all, but if even so, if true for some, if one can't get past their voices to hear their content and impeccable research and story telling to give life and depth to the civil war not just a history liesson then i guess you'll have do a special search on any kind of podcasts to include: "people with really sweet nice voices that make me feel good."

Sickles decision to move his line forward was a preposterously stupid decision, costing thoudands of innocent lives. He should have been hung for murder.

Nothing changes. Corrupt politicians, defense attorneys and judges. Sad that Gen Meade died young and that Sicky lived long enough to rewrite history regarding his role at Gettysburg. However, his wounding at Gettysburg was bad for Sickles but good for the Union army.
