Det amerikanska inbördeskriget är USA:s blodigaste krig som det fortfarande går att skönja spåren efter idag. Inbördeskriget kom att förebåda de totala krig som kom att föröda Europa på 1900-talet.Trots den enorma skalan var det ett amatörernas krig vilket resulterade stora förluster på bägge sidor. Det var också det första moderna kriget där nya militära teknologier som pansarbåtar och repetergevär kom att utnyttjas i stora slag med enorma förluster till följd.I detta avsnitt av Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med professor Martin Hårdstedt om kriget som delade USA. Detta är första delen av tre i vår serie om det amerikanska inbördeskriget.I början av 1861 gick sju amerikanska delstater samman för att gemensamt lämna Amerikas Förenta Stater och bilda Amerikas Konfedererade Stater. Stora dispyter om slaveri mellan det nordliga och sydliga USA hade lett till en spänd politisk situation och valet av Abraham Lincoln till USA:s sextonde president 1860 fällde avgörandet.Så småningom utgjordes de konfedererade staterna, eller sydstaterna, av sammanlagt elva delstater. För den nytillträdda presidenten i nord väntade en svår uppgift – att åter ena landet till en gemensam union. Detta skulle utmynna i en fyra år lång väpnad konflikt och ett krig som skulle sätta djupa spår i den amerikanska historien.Mellan 1861 och 1865 utkämpades det amerikanska inbördeskriget mellan Amerikas Förenta Stater och Amerikas Konfedererade stater. Kriget kännetecknas av sina framträdande generaler, de politiska val som präglat bilden av Abraham Lincoln och det faktum att det anses vara konflikten som satte stopp för slaveriet i USA.Trots att sydstaterna utkämpade ett defensivt krig som inledningsvis gick till deras fördel brukar man ofta betrakta 1863 som den avgörande vändpunkten. Nordstaterna fick övertaget och 1865 kapitulerade sydstaterna. Totalt dog mellan 500 000 och 1 000 000 människor till följd av kriget.3000 svenskar eller svenskättlingar slogs i det amerikanska inbördeskriget. De flesta för nordstaterna men även för konfederationen. Det fanns även ett svenskt kompani som ingick 57:e Illinoisregementet.Bild: Slaget vid Antietam. Potomac-armén: Gen. Geo. B.

In this episode of the ROCC Pod, we dive into the musical world of the Royal Oak Concert Band and the Woodward Avenue Jazz Orchestra. Jon Gay and Lisa Bibbee host Kevin Czarnik, the director of the Royal Oak Concert Band, and Jim Cann, the director of the Woodward Avenue Jazz Orchestra. They do have very different backgrounds. Kevin is a music teacher who works with students of all ages. Jim, an engineer-turned-musician, talks about his passion for music, his role in the jazz orchestra, and how he transitioned from a career in manufacturing automation to leading a big band.The discussion highlights the rich history and community presence of both musical groups. The Royal Oak Concert Band, established in the 1960s, continues to bring together volunteer musicians to perform a diverse repertoire, from classic marches to contemporary pieces. The Woodward Avenue Jazz Orchestra, a subset of the concert band, specializes in big band jazz, playing everything from Glenn Miller to more modern arrangements. Both groups emphasize the importance of community music and how it provides a creative outlet for people of all ages and backgrounds.We preview upcoming performances, including a concert themed "Color Your World," featuring music with color-inspired themes and a special collaboration with the Madrigal Chorale for their holiday concert.

“I wanted to get kids to work more collaboratively. We say we're a collaborative group, but the conductor is behind the piano teaching the choir parts rather than saying, ‘here's the part I want you to learn. Go learn it. Here are the expectations and come back and self-assess yourself.' So, I designed performance tasks. I'll work on it as a group first, so they have some capacity for it. Then I'll have them break into sectionals and go reinforce it.”William Gunn is the director of music at Plymouth Regional High School where he conducts the Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, and teaches a year long guitar elective. He is also the music director of the Pemigewasset Choral Society in Plymouth, NH, and a teaching lecturer in music education at Plymouth State University. Mr. Gunn received his bachelor of music in music education from Ithaca College and his masters of music in conducting from Colorado State University. Mr. Gunn has studied conducting with Wes Kenney, Dwight Bigler, Steve Peterson, and Eric Hammer.

We start off the new year by welcoming Dr. Joseph Van Hassel, Chair of the UNCP Department of Music, and Kalem Graham, Director of the 'Spirit of the Carolinas' Marching Band, for a conversation about musical activities on campus and beyond. We discussed what brought each of them to music as a career, and what they studied along the way. We learned more about what research and scholarship looks like in the performing arts, and the two shared how their work in the classroom informs growth as performers, and in the study of education and teaching. As educators monitor the long-lasting changes in public school programming brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, more is learned about how to respond at the university level.  As one of the major performing ensembles in the department, the 'Spirit of the Carolinas' Marching Band not only entertains, but has been a training ground for student leadership for decades. Students work in all aspects of the ensemble's organization, including music, technology, personnel, and facilities management, in the stadium, on the road, in Moore Hall, and on the practice field. Students assist with storing and caring for uniforms and equipment, leading instrumental and color guard sectional rehearsals, group rehearsals as Captains, and for some, leading the entire band as Drum Majors. In each spring semester members of the band re-form into the Pep Band to support men's and women's' basketball, continuing to work on these important leadership skills across the year.  The 'Spirit of the Carolinas' joins the Wind Ensemble and Concert Band, Percussion Ensemble, University Chorale, Vocal Jazz Ensemble, Orchestra, Jazz Combos and Ensembles, and many other chamber groups across the department, open to majors and non-majors alike.  Join us as we celebrate the study, performance, and teaching of music and the great work being done by students in Moore Hall in collaboration with faculty, staff, and community. Featured on this episode are L to R: Dr. Joanna Hersey, Dr. Joseph Van Hassel, Mr. Kalem Graham, and Dr. Richard Gay, and we are back to recording in the Radio Room in Old Main with thanks to our Department of Mass Communication for their assistance.  'Spirit of the Carolinas' Marching Band Director Kalem Graham with the Pep Band Seniors and Music Department Staff Member Meggan Hollis.

In this episode you will hear:   (16:20) Mark and Julia discuss a June 6th article in Forbes by Brennan Barnard entitled, “College admissions, who knows what”. This is the   of this three-part series examined the issues around transparency in college admission. Mark and Julia will discuss all three of these articles for three consecutive months       (36:20) For our question from a listener, comes from Nina from Massachusetts and she wants to know:   My son has played the trumpet since the 4th grade and when we started high school he made the decision that he wanted to stay in Concert Band which I fully support. Because band meets 4x per week it limits him in his ability to take other courses. For example, our high school offers an engineering certificate if you complete certain courses. Because of his choice to stay in band, he's not able to take many electives and has to choose among those that will fit with his other core classes. Is this something we need to explain to schools?     (01:13:00) Our interview is with Dr. Robert Alexander, the Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid and Enrollment Management. In Part 1 of 2, Mark and Dr. Alexander discuss the following: Introduction and Greetings Robert, give us your backstory, walk us up to various admission roles you have had and what you are doing today? Robert, take 3-5 minutes to explain UR to someone who knows nothing about UR? Describe a student who thrives at UR? How “open” is UR's open curriculum?  What are some unusual ways that students take advantage of it? What is the university's relationship with Medical Center complex? Are undergrads involved?   The University of Rochester interview will also serve as our college spotlight.    (01:20:35) The recommended resource is “Breaking Ranks” How the Rankings Industry Rules Higher Education and what to do about it” by Colin Driver, President of Reed College   .
