Podcasts about Civil war

In August 1863, as Lee's army retreated from Gettysburg and Vicksburg fell to Grant, the Union's Anaconda Plan deployed hundreds of ships to strangle 3,500 miles of Confederate coastline, triggering hyperinflation and economic collapse as the South lost its ability to export King Cotton for vital war supplies. Yet in Mobile, Alabama—uniquely insulated from the front lines—civilian merchant mariners with knowledge of hidden coastal inlets and shifting sandbars became the Confederacy's lifeline, piloting low-profile steel-hulled steamers through Union blockades in total darkness using lead-lining and secret shore-based signal stations. These daring runs generated profits of 700% to 1,000% per voyage, but before the Confederate government mandated 50% war supplies per shipment, captains often prioritized black market silks and liquors over desperately needed ammunition and salt. Today's guest is Bill C. Wilson, career merchant mariner and author of Course Over Ground, a historical thriller set during the height of Civil War blockade running in his hometown of Mobile. We discuss how blockade runners shifted from wooden sailing vessels to steamers burning "smokeless" anthracite coal to remain invisible on the horizon, why the transition to high-pressure steam engines was necessary to outrun Union "double-enders," and how the shuttle system between neutral ports like Nassau and Bermuda kept the cotton-for-arms pipeline flowing. Wilson also reveals his favorite research discovery: during the Battle of Mobile Bay, the last confirmed bayonet wound suffered by an American sailor occurred when two warships came into contact, and explains why once Wilmington fell in 1865, the blockade runner's role was already obsolete due to the collapse of the Southern rail system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Natchez, Mississippi, a mansion built to defy tradition was never finished. Frozen in time by the outbreak of the Civil War, Longwood still holds the tools, the materials… and the presence of something that never left. Because some places aren't haunted by what happened, they're haunted by what never got the chance to.

You might know Steve from his very popular YouTube channel at youtube.com/steveshives. Steve covers both Star Trek commentary and political commentary – kinda makes sense that we'd eventually connect, me being the co-host of Trek Politics. As we discussed today, Steve is an alpha liberal and he doesn't shy away from fully owning his liberalism. So today, we started off with a little bit about the politics of Star Trek and what Stephen Miller had to say about the new Trek series Starfleet Academy, then we segued into the existential crisis for democracy and even managed to talk some Civil War by the end. So stick around. If you're not already, I think you'll be a Steve Shives fan after today. Meantime, make sure to support this podcast at patreon.com/bobcescashow. Music by Marina Rocks.

In this episode of Mike Force, we break down the rapidly escalating situation with Iran, the growing risk around the Strait of Hormuz, and the political fallout now exploding inside the MAGA movement. President Trump has gone scorched earth on some of the biggest conservative influencers in the country, calling out Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones after they criticized the push toward war with Iran. The result is a real fracture inside the America First coalition, as the fight shifts from foreign policy to a battle over what MAGA actually stands for. Is this strategic deterrence, or the beginning of another endless Middle East conflict? We break down the military reality, the political consequences, and why this matters for energy, oil, inflation, and the future of the movement.New Channel https://youtube.com/@UCEWpePlLR2NzgVLXfbf9Pdg Follow the underground https://patreon.com/mikegloverGet your Carnivault Subscription and Save on Changing Beef Prices by locking in your prices - The best freeze dried meat for prep or dinner.

Episode 82 Is Qui Tam Unconstitutional? The False Claims Act's Constitutional Reckoning The qui tam provision of the False Claims Act has turned whistleblowing into a $6.8 billion-a-year industry. And now, the Constitution might be coming to collect. Host Matt Adams is joined by his Fox Rothschild colleagues Joe DeMaria and Morgan McCall Reece to dissect whether private relators wielding government power without government accountability violates Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Since the Civil War, the False Claims Act has allowed private individuals to file lawsuits on behalf of the government, pocketing 15-30% of recovered funds. When the government declines to intervene, which happens in 75-85% of cases, these unelected, unappointed private relators step into the shoes of a civil prosecutor without meaningful executive oversight. Joe traces the constitutional fault line back to Justice Scalia's dissent in Morrison and then-Attorney General William Barr's 1989 memorandum declaring the qui tam statute unconstitutional. Morgan breaks down the Appointments Clause and the Vesting and Take Care Clauses at the center of the fight, zeroing in on whether relators are functioning as "inferior officers" exercising significant authority without executive appointment or supervision. Matt, Joe and Morgan predict where this is ultimately headed: the Supreme Court, with a potential role by the 11th Circuit. With qui tam litigation serving as big business for the government, relators and law firms alike, don't miss this thought-provoking discussion.

You know the avengers: Captain America , black widow , falcon, and Wanda. The classics. It does not go well.  After another bad mission,  The UN comes in and says they want to put the Avengers under government control with something called the Sokovia Accords.. Tony who shows up to this meeting, feeling guilty about creating Ultron, is like “yeah maybe we should have supervision.” Steve, meanwhile, is like “I actually trust myself more than literally any government on earth.” Uh oh, I smell a civil war!  We see a guy named Zemo kill Bucky's old Hydra handler and steal the magic words book that turns Bucky into a murder robot.  Meanwhile, at the big UN meeting, a bomb goes off and kills the king of Wakanda. Security footage makes it look like Bucky did it. The kings son, T'Challa, is very much on the case.  Steve decides he's gonna go get Bucky himself despite the fact that he could get arrested in the process. He and Sam track him down and try to talk to him, where things immediately turn into a whole mess. T'Challa shows up to kill Bucky, and it leads to a massive chase which ends in everyone getting arrested because you can't just do whatever you want anymore.  They bring in a psychiatrist to evaluate Bucky but it's actually Zemo. Bucky goes nuts but Zemo escapes.  Steve is able to save Bucky from the water and  Bucky comes back to himself. He explains that Zemo framed him and is heading to Siberia, where Hydra supposedly has a bunch more Winter Soldiers ready to rock n roll.  Tony & Natasha decide they need to form a little group to stop Steve & Bucky, including newbies Black Panther and Tony's new pet project, Spider-Man.  Steve knows he's gonna need help of his own, so he a crew consisting of some other avengers + ant man.  So naturally, everyone meets at an airport in Germany. Big fight, big fun. Things stop being fun and Natasha helps Steve and Bucky escape. the rest of Steve's crew gets tossed into underwater super prison jail  Tony eventually realizes Bucky was framed and finds Steve and Bucky in Siberia to call a temporary truce. But then Zemo reveals the footage from 1991 showing that Bucky murdered Tony's parents . And Steve knew. Ohhhhhhh SNAP.  Tony takes that information about as well as you'd expect. Tony fights Steve and Bucky, Bucky loses his robot arm, Steve fights Tony hard an departs with Bucky, leaving his shield behind, and Zemo is like mission accomplished. But then T'Challa shows up and arrests him.  Steve then breaks everyone out of the underwater prison,  and Bucky heads to Wakanda to be frozen until someone can deprogram his murder brain.

He had spent plenty of weekends taking part in Civil War reenactments, often held on the same land where the events had originally taken place. It was a familiar environment—people in uniform, movement around camp, and just enough unpredictability that you didn't question every little thing you saw.Which is why that one moment didn't stand out right away.Nothing about it felt unusual in the context of where he was or what he was doing. It fit just well enough to go unquestioned… at least at first.But the longer he thought about it, the less it made sense.Because if it really had happened the way it seemed…someone else should have seen it too.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #CivilWarGhost #HauntedBattlefield #GhostSoldier #ParanormalExperience #TrueGhostStory #TimeSlip #SpookyStories #Unexplained #RGSO #HistoricalHauntingsLove real ghost stories?

At McRaven House in Vicksburg, Mississippi, history wasn't built all at once—it was layered. A highwayman's hideout. A childbirth that ended in tragedy. A Civil War siege that turned a home into a hospital. And decades of isolation that froze the house in time. Each generation left something behind. And according to those who've walked its halls… none of it ever left.

April 11, 2026On April 12, 1861, Confederate forces fired on South Carolina's Fort Sumter, South Carolina had left the Union the previous December, When Abraham Lincoln took office in March, 1861, seven Southern states had left the Union, forming their own provisional government,  The Confederate government rested on the belief that Black men are not equal to white men, Northerners rejected the white southerners' attempt to destroy the principles of the Declaration of Independence, After the attack on Fort Sumter, Lincoln called for troops to put down the rebellion against the government, The Civil War would take hundreds of thousands of lives at huge cost, But by its end, the institution of human enslavement was destroyed.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

The American frontier was full of things that settlers and soldiers couldn't explain, and among the strangest were the Wild Man accounts that began appearing in newspapers decades before anyone coined the term Bigfoot.In this episode, we dig deep into the historical record and examine encounter reports from the eighteen forties through the eighteen sixties, beginning with the eighteen sixty-five Paraclifta, Arkansas account published in the Weekly Standard of Raleigh, North Carolina, and working backward to the eighteen fifty-one Greene County cattle chase first reported by the Memphis Enquirer, the eighteen forty-six Crowley's Ridge footprint discovery published in the Baltimore Sun, and the violent eighteen fifty-six pursuit and attack near the Ouachita Mountains. We examine Civil War-era accounts including the Bridgeport, Alabama wild man captured by Captain George Anderson's men near General Braxton Bragg's encampment and later identified as a traumatized Unionist named Bill Patton who'd suffered a saber wound to the head, the disputed Harper's Ferry letter attributed to Private James Moore of the Sixty-Seventh Pennsylvania Infantry, and the poorly sourced Brice's Cross Roads story involving an unnamed Confederate cavalryman allegedly nursed by a group of Sasquatch.Along the way, we confront the harder question that underlies all of this material: were these people encountering an undocumented primate, feral humans broken by war and injury, traumatized recluses who'd abandoned civilization, or were they transforming the fear and chaos of frontier and wartime life into folklore? The honest answer may be some combination of all four, and the willingness to sit with that uncertainty is what separates genuine research from belief.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Matt Walsh joins Allie Beth Stuckey for his first discussion about Episode 3 of his groundbreaking Daily Wire docuseries “Real History,” which dives deep into the untold truths of the American Civil War. Walsh challenges the mainstream narrative by exploring why the conflict wasn't simply a moral crusade over slavery, examining the complex mix of political power struggles, economic differences, cultural divides, and the spirit of secession that echoed America's own founding. He also sheds new light on figures like General Robert E. Lee — a brilliant Virginian torn between loyalty to the United States and defense of his home state — and questions how the North shaped the history we've been taught. Plus, Matt shares how he's become radicalized on criminal justice thanks to the suspected killer of Iryna Zarutska being found unfit to stand for trial.

- The split inside MAGA is framed as real, ugly, and healthy, with public infighting presented as proof the right still debates ideas instead of marching in lockstep. - Trump unloads on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, casting their Iran criticism as opportunism, disloyalty, and low-IQ grandstanding.  - Democrats are accused of embracing outright extremism after a Michigan Senate candidate appears with Hasan Piker, who is described as anti-American, pro-Hamas, and openly violent.  - Nick Shirley's California reporting is treated as real journalism, exposing staggering Medicaid and hospice fraud while Gavin Newsom's machine is accused of knowing all along.  - The episode closes by hammering Republicans pushing immigration amnesty, portraying the Dignidad Act as a direct betrayal of the deportation mandate voters thought they were electing.

Trump Accelerates MAGA Civil War By Calling Out Alex Jones & Others, Melania Pushes For Epstein Accomplices To Be Held Accountable After Husband Said “Nobody Cares” About The Scandal

Freedom Friday is off the rails! Jon is joined in studio by MN Rep Max Rymer, Grace Keating, and AK Kamara where the group looks at the long-term ramifications of potential bath houses in Minneapolis and why conspiracy theories are so prevalent today.

What do Ukrainians and Black Americans share in their historical and cultural experiences? Can we draw comparisons between serfdom and slavery, or find parallels in the colonial traumas and the struggle for human dignity? Furthermore, what role do culture, identity, and language play in overcoming these legacies? In this episode of the Explaining Ukraine podcast, we share a recording of a vital discussion held at PEN Ukraine in Kyiv in October 2025. This conversation explores collective memory, the universal aspiration for freedom, and the growing solidarity between communities that have endured systemic oppression. *** Our Speakers are: - Terrell Jermaine Starr – Independent American journalist and host of Black Diplomats, a documentary news show covering civilian life in Ukraine. Over his 16-year career, he has reported extensively on the U.S. military, nuclear policy, and the Black Lives Matter movement. - Christopher Atwood – Human rights and communications expert, Head of the Ukraïner International, which an international branch of Ukrainer, a popular Ukrainian media. Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, president of PEN Ukraine and the editor-in-chief of UkraineWorld. *** Listen on various platforms: https://li.sten.to/explaining-ukraine UkraineWorld: https://ukraineworld.org/en *** SUPPORT: You can support our work on https://www.patreon.com/c/ukraineworld Your help is crucial, as we rely heavily on crowdfunding. You can also contribute to our volunteer missions to frontline areas in Ukraine, where we deliver aid to both soldiers and civilians. Donations are welcome via PayPal at: ukraine.resisting@gmail.com. *** CONTENTS: 00:00:00 Guests: American journalist Terrell Jermaine Starr and American civic activist Christopher Atwood. Discussion at PEN Ukraine, October, 2025. 00:04:03 What can Black Americans and Ukrainians tell each other to make their shared struggles better understood by the world? 00:07:34 What are the three profound commonalities between the 2014 Maidan Revolution and the Black Lives Matter movement? 00:18:54 How do the legacies of Frederick Douglass and Taras Shevchenko reveal the universal trauma of being "born into unfreedom"? 00:22:56 How did the exploitative "sharecropping" system in the American South mirror the traps faced by Ukrainian peasants? 00:28:41 What is the historical link between the "slave catchers" of the 19th century and the architecture of modern American policing? 00:30:30 In what ways is the current political divide in America a shadow of the Civil War? 00:32:38 Why does the American democracy only have a "30-year jump" on Ukraine's independence? 00:33:48 In what ways is "whiteness" weaponized as a tool of convenience by Western powers? 00:35:07 What is the difference between the "colonialism of racism" and the "colonialism of assimilation"? 00:36:18 How does Frantz Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks explain language as a primary tool of domination? 00:37:15 Why does the Western intellectuals struggle to reject colonialism in practice? 00:42:48 Why is it a dangerous intellectual shortcut to blame systemic issues on "one bad man" like Trump or Putin? 00:53:32 What does the history of the Brooklyn Bridge reveal about the racial hierarchies? 00:57:17 How can Black Americans and Ukrainians build solidarity when they face the same systems of oppression but have "colonizers who look different"? 01:05:40 What are the "multiple layers of whiteness"? 01:12:50 How does Edward Said's Orientalism help explain why Western scholars often treat Ukrainians as "objects" of study rather than "subjects"? 01:24:10 How did Western academics miss the "seething rage" that signaled Ukrainians would never welcome invaders as liberators? 01:26:56 Why does the American "dominant class" believe democracy is a finished project? 01:33:33 Can a government truly understand the cultural dynamics of another country if it refuses to reflect on the racial dynamics of its own?

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss the state of the U.S. war with Iran including what Tuesday night's abject ceasefire means, a deeply unsettling profile of the internet fringe group "Groypers" that shows how they are affecting Republican politics with guest Antonia Hitchens, and legal and moral arguments over mandatory school reading lists being considered in Texas which contain Bible passages.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss the ins and outs of a strange story in which a FEMA official claims to have miraculously teleported to a Waffle House in Georgia, including the media treatment of the story and what it means that some U.S. officials are reporting such experiences. In the latest Gabfest Reads, David Plotz talks with journalist Gabriel Sherman about his new book Bonfire of the Murdochs: How the Epic Fight to Control the Last Great Media Dynasty Broke a Family—and the World. Sherman, who also wrote the bestselling biography of Fox News chief Roger Ailes, spent 15 years reporting on the Murdoch empire. In this book he turns his lens on the family itself — the rivalries, the wounds, and the secret Nevada courtroom battle that finally forced Rupert's hand.

April 8, 2026General Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate General Robert E. Lee agreed to meet at the home of Wilmer McLean in Appomattox on the afternoon of April 9 to work out the terms of the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, Upon signing the papers, the grandly dressed Lee told the somewhat disheveled Grant that his men were starving, Grant did not hesitate to agree to provide the soldiers with provisions, The Civil War was not won, as the South had imagined, by wealthy aristocrats, but by ordinary men of the Union Army who, like Grant, knew that they had a job to do.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

John Quincy Adams is one of those figures who seems to sit quietly in the background of American history — the son of a Founder, a one-term president, a man often overshadowed by bigger personalities. But look closer, and a very different story emerges. After losing the presidency, Adams didn't fade away. He reinvented himself. He returned to Washington, entered the House of Representatives, and became one of the most relentless and morally uncompromising voices of his generation — especially on slavery.In his new book America's Founding Son: John Quincy Adams from President to Political Maverick, Bob Crawford argues that Adams may not just be an important former president — he may be the most consequential ex-president in American history. This is a story about failure, reinvention, and what happens when someone freed from ambition becomes dangerous in the best possible way. It's also a story about a nation moving from the age of the Founders toward the sectional crisis that would eventually tear it apart.Today, we talk with Bob Crawford about Adams's second act, his evolving stance on slavery, his battles in Congress, and why this supposedly minor president might actually be one of the most important political figures of the nineteenth century. We'll also explore what Adams can teach us about political courage, moral conviction, and the long arc between the American Revolution and the Civil War.This is a conversation about John Quincy Adams — but it's also a conversation about what it means to lose power… and finally tell the truth.

During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln's attention was understandably focused on the conflict. The government's focus was diverted from issues affecting the American West. Tensions between Plains tribes and settlers were allowed to escalate, as there were no resources to spare. The U.S.-Dakota War was sparked by competition for land and resources, resulting in loss of life on both sides and the dislocation of the Dakota.

Sustaining Peace After Civil War: Insights from 48 Recent Cases (Springer, 2026) examines one of the most important questions in peace research: What leads to enduring peace after civil wars, and what leads to the resurgence of violence? For decades, intrastate conflicts have been the predominant form of armed conflict, and most recent civil wars were conflicts that recurred. The research presented in this book focuses on influenceable factors, first and foremost on the type of civil war termination and on the post-civil war order that is shaped by the distribution of military power between the former warring parties and the scale of political compromise. Moreover, it shows that the peacekeeping environment has a major influence on whether peace endures.The insights provided in this book are relevant for the academic community, and for decision-makers and practitioners involved in civilian or military efforts to establish and preserve peace. Thorsten Gromes is a Project Leader and Senior Researcher at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt's (PRIF) Research Department Intra­state Conflicts. His research focuses on post-civil war societies and so-called humani­tarian military inter­ventions.
