The American Civil War remains one of the most pivotal and complex periods in our history. While much has been written, countless fascinating questions still spark our curiosity. In our podcast Civil War Curious, we enlist expert historians to answer your lingering questions about the conflict.
On this episode, we're joined by Allen C. Guelzo, a professor of humanities at the University of Florida’s Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education. A three-time winner of the prestigious Lincoln Prize, his books include Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in America (2004); Fateful Lightning: A New History of the Civil War and Reconstruction (2012); and Gettysburg: The Last Invasion (2014). He discusses the various causes behind the outbreak of the American Civil War.
