Développer les infrastructures dans les corridors sud de la RDC, notamment celui de Lobito et de Banana, le sujet était au centre des discussions lors du salon du développement des villes et des corridors, Expo Béton, qui réunissait une centaine d'acteurs des secteurs public et privé à Lubumbashi. Parmi les leviers importants de ces projets figurent les infrastructures routières. Mais la RDC peine à mobiliser les ressources pour financer leur réhabilitation. Sur le tracé du corridor de Lobito, se déplacer par la route de Kolwezi à la frontière avec l'Angola, est un parcours du combattant. « Pour parcourir les 440 km, ça peut prendre 15 à 20 jours, voire un mois !, témoigne Donat Tshimboj, transporteur des marchandises sur ce tronçon. Les camions se renversent avec leurs marchandises. La plupart des transporteurs ont décidé de retirer leurs camions de la circulation. »Cette situation n'est pas unique. La RDC a un réseau routier de 156 000 km dont près de 4 000 km seulement sont asphaltés. Le salon du développement des villes et des corridors à Lubumbashi a recommandé l'investissement dans ce domaine. « Nous avons entendu des appels urgents sur des partenariats publics-privés pour accélérer les investissements dans les infrastructures stratégiques », rappelle Jean Bamanisa, directeur d'Expo Béton.Déficit du Fonds national d'entretien routierMais du côté du secteur public, le Fonds national d'entretien routier (Foner), l'organisme chargé de la mobilisation des ressources financières, connaît un déficit criant. Ses recettes proviennent à 95% de la redevance sur la mise en consommation des produits pétroliers. Alors qu'il a besoin d'au moins 950 millions de dollars par an pour l'entretien des routes, le Foner ne mobilise que 156 millions de dollars à cause de la fraude. « Un premier niveau de fraude se manifeste lorsque certains produits n'arrivent dans les entrepôts, explique Pierre Bundoki, le directeur général du Foner. S'ils n'arrivent dans les entrepôts, on ne peut pas percevoir [la redevance]. Le deuxième niveau de la fraude, c'est au moment de la sortie des entrepôts, tout n'est pas renseigné. À titre illustratif, en 2024, le Foner devait percevoir 458 millions de dollars, il n'a encaissé que 164 millions de dollars. »À lire aussiRDC: trous énormes, boue... la route entre Goma et Masisi, un cauchemar pour les conducteursModèle tanzanien de financement ?Pour l'heure, la RDC reste le maillon faible de ces corridors faute de capitaux. Pour relever le défi, la Tanzanie a proposé à la RDC son modèle de mobilisation locale des ressources financières. « En Tanzanie, il y a eu les Samia Bonds, détaille Patient Mwenze, le directeur adjoint de la CRDB (Cooperative Rural Development Bank), une banque commerciale tanzanienne installée en RDC depuis 2023. C'est une levée des fonds qui a été faite, où la CRDB a permis à la population de souscrire à ses obligations. En l'espace de trois mois, ça a permis de lever 125 millions de dollars qui sont allés dans la construction des infrastructures. »La RDC espère qu'avec les partenaires privés, elle pourra exploiter tous les corridors sud.À lire aussiLes routes en Afrique: un frein au développement?
President Trump wants to end birthright citizenship as part of his multifront campaign to close American society to foreigners. A federal judge has temporarily blocked his executive order attempting to abolish part of the Constitution -- Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment. The case may ultimately reach the Supreme Court, more than 150 years after the states ratified the transformative amendment that "transcended race and region, it challenged legal discrimination throughout the nation, and changed and broadened the meaning of freedom for all Americans," in the words of eminent historian Eric Foner. In this episode, Foner delves into the origins of this enduring American conflict over rights and citizenship.

The dense layers of deceit are to misdirect public focus towards non-solutions. The lines are intentionally blurred between fact and fiction. We must accept what we see and deal with it. The news is sold to us only if it aligns with their goals. Our inner guiding light is more important than ever. Knowledge makes it burn brighter. Trust is a shape shifting entity. Mall aliens, bazillion cops, people panicked, shots fired and not a single video or pic. Was this a exercise in cutting coms? Cultivate your gut trust. The Sugar Brothers seem to avoid all scrutiny from conservative inc. The Les Wexner connections. Wait until they are forced to talk about Haiti. The Prof. Eric Foner lectures. Denying the right to vote is complicated. Did the founders see the political battles of the future? This involves illegals voting. Did you say we're going to war with China? It will be an invasion from the North. Jo is now a liability. They have concocted a nefarious plot. Chaos is the goal. Expect a staged assassination sympathy play. Then, they call in UN help. This was all started by Obama. A crisis must be reached and passed. Patriots fight smarter. It's all coming down, so do everything you can and leave the rest in God's hands.
La République Démocratique du Congo est en campagne électorale depuis dimanche. Et ce qui inquiète les habitants de Bukavu, la capitale du Sud-Kivu, c'est le mauvais état des routes de la province, malgré les nombreuses promesses réitérées depuis les élections de 2006. Ils espèrent cette fois-ci que les engagements pris par les candidats seront tenus. De notre correspondant à Bukavu,Au volant de son taxi jaune, sueur au front, Aganze Mirindi Romain a multiplié les manœuvres sur cette route, l'une des principales de la commune de Kadutu, mais encore une fois rien ne va : « Mon véhicule est tombé en panne sur cette même route récemment. Il sort du garage, j'ai même des photos, mais regarde, le moteur vient de déboîter encore. Et c'est presque toutes les semaines que nos voitures ont ce genre de problèmes. Nos routes sont dans un état très dégradé. D'ailleurs, je prie Dieu pour qu'il ne pleuve parce qu'il suffit de quelques gouttes de pluie pour que la circulation s'arrête ! »Sur la route nationale numéro 2, non loin du Lycée Wima qui surplombe Bukavu, il existe un endroit que les habitants ont surnommé « Yesu - Yesu », « Jésus - Jésus » en français. Les accidents de la route y sont fréquents. Tony Milinganyo est chauffeur de taxi : « Les gens crient Jésus-Jésus à cause des manœuvres que font les voitures lorsqu'elles passent par là. Ils ont peur de l'accident. C'est pourtant une route nationale. On ne comprend pas que les autorités ne voient pas tout ça ? D'ailleurs, je me demande comment ils comptent faire campagne à l'intérieur de la province. Est-ce que les habitants des milieux enclavés auront le courage d'aller voter ? Car là où il n'y a pas d'accès, la vie doit être chère, et ça ajoute de la souffrance à la souffrance ».Seulement 13% des voiries sont en bon état dans le Sud-KivuUn peu plus loin, Cizungu Nyangura Baïgon, la soixantaine, est désabusé : « C'est regrettable de voir que ceux qui ont des postes stratégiques au gouvernement sont originaires de Ngweshe ; lorsqu'ils sont à Bukavu ils passent par ici pour aller chez eux. C'est cette route qui mène au village natal de la Première dame par exemple ! Quelle honte ? Ne me demandez pas d'aller voter pour ces gens-là. »Dans le centre-ville de Bukavu, les conducteurs roulent à gauche ou à droite, c'est selon l'état de la route, car il faut éviter les nids de poules. Georges Onembo est le directeur provincial de l'Office de voirie et drainage du Sud-Kivu. Il s'en remet au Fonds national d'entretien routier FONER qui, depuis quelque temps, s'active pour financer quelques travaux. « La province du Sud-Kivu a 162 311 kilomètres de voirie à entretenir. À peine 13% sont en bon état, 6% sont un état moyen et le reste en mauvais état. Avec le financement du FONER, on commence l'entretien des principaux axes. Nous faisons les réhabilitations en fonction des moyens qui sont mis à notre disposition. »L'office des voiries et drainages précise que les routes à réhabiliter en priorité pour le gouvernement provincial du Sud-Kivu sont notamment les avenues Kibombo, Vamaro, du plateau à Nguba, et les avenues du lac 1 et 2 à Labotte.

In his concurring opinion supporting the majority ruling striking down race-based affirmative action in college admissions, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas argued for a race-neutral reading of historical efforts to remediate the effects of slavery and racism. In his view, the formerly enslaved “freedmen,” who were supposed to be cared for under the Freedmen's Bureau established after the Civil War, was formally a “race-neutral category." Thomas has spent his judicial career arguing the Fourteenth Amendment bars any form of race-conscious policymaking, and he has taken a narrow view of the rights protected under the amendment's clauses. Does he have his history right? The eminent historian of the Reconstruction era Eric Foner joins the conversation.
Eric Foner thinks "presentism" is a valuable part of history. He defends it through a review of a new book on C. Vann Woodward who was at one time considered the most important historian in America. To be blunt, Foner gets a lot wrong. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/support
In this Artpop Talk, we are joined by special guest Daria Foner. Foner speaks to her time working at the Morgan Library & Museum and the institution's iconic first woman librarian, Belle Da Costa Greene. We also chat about her current position with Sotheby's Old Master Painting Department... and we know the Artpop Tarts will love this auction house content. Daria is an art historian and native New Yorker. She completed her Ph.D. at Columbia University, where her dissertation, "Collaborative Endeavours in the Career of Andrea del Sarto," focused on the creative practices of sixteenth-century Florentine visual and performing artists. Prior to joining the Sotheby's Old Master Paintings Department, she worked at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York. She previously held curatorial positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Frick Collection and contributed to exhibitions at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Columbia University's Wallach Gallery.

Long before Roe v. Wade established a constitutional right to an abortion -- indeed, centuries before abortion became one of the most divisive issues in American society -- ending a pregnancy before "quickening" was commonplace in the colonial era and not very controversial, either. That began to change in the mid-nineteenth century when some medical professionals joined a campaign to criminalize all abortions, led by Dr. Horatio Storer. In this episode, historians Anna Peterson and Eric Foner discuss the history of abortion before Roe and the origins, purposes, and legacy of the Fourteenth Amendment, which laid the foundation for Roe v. Wade a century after it was ratified in the wake of the Civil War.
La RDC et la Zambie ont signé à la fin du mois d'avril un accord bilatéral pour la valorisation du secteur des batteries électriques et des énergies renouvelables. Pour les deux pays, la première étape consiste à se doter des compétences nécessaires. Ils ont donc lancé à Lubumbashi en RDC, un centre de formation baptisé Centre Africain d'excellence pour les batteries électriques. Plusieurs dizaines d'experts universitaires africains – des Camerounais, des Sud-Africains, des Zambiens – ainsi que des Européens ont contribué à la création de ce centre qui ouvrira ses portes dès la rentrée académique prochaine. Il prévoit une formation de niveau « Master » ouvert aux jeunes d'Afrique centrale. Placé sous la gestion de l'université de Lubumbashi, ce centre aura pour mission la formation et la recherche pour la fabrication des batteries électriques. Des échanges inter-universitaires sont prévus. « On essaie de se mettre ensemble, pour renforcer les capacités qui existent. On essaie aussi d'explorer les voies pour innover afin que nous puissions assurer l'employabilité de nos jeunes dans l'industrie de la batterie, explique Jean Mastaki, directeur sous régional de la Commission économique des Nations unies pour l'Afrique centrale. Et au-delà de la formation des ingénieurs, nous voulons révolutionner nos écoles de formation technique et professionnelle. » Valorisation des minéraux des batteries électriques La RDC et la Zambie détiennent à elles seules près des 70% des réserves mondiales de cuivre et de cobalt. Le professeur Nyumbe de l'université nationale zambienne affirme qu'il est temps d'apporter une valeur ajoutée à leurs minéraux : « J'aimerais voir les batteries pour les voitures électriques produites ici. Et qu'elles soient utilisées dans le monde entier. Nous soutenons l'initiative de nos deux États. » Pour l'heure, le budget pour le fonctionnement du centre n'est pas encore défini. Toutefois, Julien Paluku, ministre congolais de l'Industrie, compte sur les investissements publics et privés : « Le premier acteur, c'est le gouvernement lui-même, il doit comprendre qu'il peut investir dans le secteur des batteries. Le deuxième acteur, c'est le secteur bancaire parce que les actifs en banque se chiffrent à 14 milliards de dollars contre 10 milliards, il y a une année. Le troisième acteur, ce sont les institutions comme la société d'assurance SONAS, le Fond pour la promotion de l'industrie FPI, la Caisse nationale de sécurité sociale CNSS, le Fond national pour l'entretien routier Foner. Elles ont des moyens qui sont thésaurisés. » Quelques hommes d'affaires congolais sont déjà prêts à investir dans la formation sur les batteries électriques. « Nous avons demandé aux universités de nous donner le budget. Et volontairement, les opérateurs économiques congolais ont déjà commencé à financer sans attendre la contrepartie tout de suite », indique Eric Monga, vice-président du patronat Congolais. Lors d'un forum d'affaires en novembre dernier, la RDC a affirmé être la destination la plus compétitive pour produire des batteries électriques. Le coût d'installation d'une usine y serait deux à trois fois moins cher qu'aux États-Unis, en Chine ou en Pologne.

Kerri Miller's Friday conversation is about a novel set in the waning days of the Civil War. It tells the story of a group of slaves turned soldiers, who must grapple with resistance in a country that's changing. Scholar Eric Foner spent decades researching that era of American history. In his 2019 book, “The Second Founding,” he writes about how the war and the reconstruction that followed forever altered our constitution.

Nearly 86 million Americans are immigrants themselves or the children of immigrants. Though many authors have looked at how America changes immigrants, Nancy Foner focuses more on how immigrants have changed America. She reminds us that immigration has long had an important influence on American culture. Today the advantages of immigration continue: rejuvenating our urban centers as well as some rural communities, strengthening the economy, fueling the growth of old industries, spurring the formation of new ones, and refining how Americans perceive race, all while playing a pivotal role in reshaping electoral politics and party alignments. Immigrants affect virtually every facet of American culture, from the music we dance to and the food we eat to the films we watch and the books we read. The impact of immigrants over the past half century has become so much a part of everyday life in America that we sometimes fail to see it. Foner makes sure we don't forget all the positive ways in which immigrants continue to change our country.

The controversy over whether Critical Race Theory is being taught to kids has turned history classes into the front line in the culture wars. While CRT seemingly came out of nowhere to become one of the most divisive issues in America -- one that is deciding the outcome of elections -- battles over history curricula are nothing new. Historian Eric Foner, who has written some of the most important books on the history of racism in the U.S., discusses why the CRT controversy could thwart the necessary teaching of uncomfortable subjects. Long before there was CRT, there was the Dunning School. Listen to learn why it remains relevant in 2021.

A relação entre a História e a Literatura é extremamente rica, tanto do ponto de vista das pesquisas históricas que tomam as obras de ficção literária como fonte quanto de sua dimensão artística – ao observamos e pensarmos na história da literatura em si. No sétimo episódio da 4º temporada do Historicidade recebemos o historiador Lucas Kölln (UNIOESTE) para bater um papo sobre as relações entre a história e a literatura a partir de suas pesquisas sobre a história social do trabalho nos Estados Unidos da América no final do século XIX e início do XX. Neste episódio entenda como uma ética do trabalho liberal predominante em discursos políticos distintos e as transformações profundas do capitalismo foram lidas nas obras de Sherwood Anderson e Jack London.

Katha Pollitt reports on Afghan womens' organizations and what their leaders are saying about support from Americans—starting with the Afghan Women's Fund, MADRE, and Women for Afghan Women. Also, Black politics and history, from the 1870s to the 1930s to today: Eric Foner talks bout how our understanding of Black politics and history, starting with Reconstruction, has changed—and about the historian-activists who challenged the prevailing racist historians back in the 1930s, starting with W.E.B. DuBois and James S. Allen—his book Reconstruction: the Battle for Democracy, has just been reissued with a new introduction by Foner.

Brooks, former editor of the New York Express, a viciously anti-Negro, pro-slavery paper, was playing up to the leaders of the women's movement in order to secure their support in opposing Negro suffrage.

Wait a minute, you're telling me America was founded by the same syphilitic capitalists who ruined England?? This week the boys dust off some Foner to take a look at the role of labor in the founding of these here United States. Was the War of Independence a fully bourgeois revolution? Or did labor power and class struggle have something to do with it? Methinks they did. Reading: Chapters 1-3 of "History of the Labor Movement of the United States" (1947) by Philip S Foner.
Republican lawmakers in state legislatures nationwide are proposing more than 250 measures that, critics say, are designed to curb access to the ballot or open the road to partisan interference in elections. Georgia's new election laws are ground zero in the fight for voting rights, provoking a corporate backlash and comparisons to Jim Crow, the system of white supremacy that grew from the ashes of Reconstruction. Eric Foner, one of the preeminent scholars in the U.S., joins the podcast to discuss what is at stake.
This week I'm talking to Kindertransportee Henry Foner. Henry was born Heinz Lichtwitz in 1932 in Berlin, and with WW2 looming, was taken in by the UK as part of a unique relief effort to rescue ~10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Western Europe - called the Kindertransport. Henry, like all of these children, said goodbye to his family in 1938 not knowing when or if they'd see each other again. Henry's father Max sent him postcards, all of which have been compiled into a book called, “Postcards to a Little Boy”, published by Yad Vashem. It's a heartbreaking and enlighting story that to date has never been told within the medium of podcasting - one that unfortunately is now just on the cusp of living memory. “Postcards to a Little Boy” is available on Amazon or at the Yad Vashem webstore - store.yadvashem.org -- This episode is sponsored by Northern Powerhouse Media.

Eric Foner, the 2020 Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards winner for Lifetime Achievement, joins The Asterisk* to discuss the Jan. 6, 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol, his marriage to a fellow historian and his place among the most influential American historians of the last half-century. With more than two dozen books to his credit, AWBA jury chair Henry Louis Gates Jr. says Foner “is the dean of Reconstruction historians, and is one of the most generous, and genuinely passionate, professors of his generation.” In arguably his most influential book, “Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution,” Foner tracked the warp and weave in the struggle for freedom and equality long after the Confederacy expired. It won the Bancroft Prize, the Francis Parkman Prize, a Los Angeles Times Book Award, the Avery O. Craven Prize and the Lionel Trilling Award. The book is still considered the premier synthesis of the years 1863-1877.
Dr. Eric Foner, educator, historian, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, is often regarded as the "dean of Reconstruction historians." Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University, Dr. Foner has used his career as a scholar to construct a more truthful narrative of the Civil War and Reconstruction. This year Dr. Foner was named the 2020 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award honoree for Lifetime Achievement for most recent book, The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution. Join us at the City Club as he discusses his book.
Food Series #3 of 4. The Black Panthers are often misrepresented or their significance is minimized in popular thought and opinion. The everyday organizing is often lost and an overemphasis on the Panther’s clashes with law enforcement overshadow the substantial community programs, the Service to the People Programs, offered by the Black Panther Party on the local level. Additionally, the dominant narrative highlights the men of the Panther party, yet women made up 2/3 of the membership and set a community-focused revolutionary agenda. Instead of viewing Black power movements like the Panthers as the antithesis of the non-violent civil rights movement, it is important to recognize that civil rights and Black power movements such as the Black Panthers, both emanate from a centuries-long Black freedom struggle. As former Panther Ericka Huggins states, “We were making history. It wasn’t nice and clean. It was complex.” Get the transcript and complete bibliography at digpodcast.org Select Bibliography Austin, Curtis.

On this episode of ST, we revisit a discussion that first aired back in October. At that time, we spoke with Eric Foner, the DeWitt Clinton Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University. A Pulitzer Prize–winning scholar and one of the most prominent historians in the United States, Foner joined us to chat about his then-new book, "The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution." This work -- which was named an Amazon Best Book of 2019, and which will appear in paperback in August -- remains an engaging and timely history of the constitutional changes that essentially built equality into our nation's foundational document. The book also explains and explores how these equality-for-all guarantees have been tried and tested over time.
We've unlocked our bonus episode on the Collar Laundry Union, in which we do a deep dive into the unionizing efforts of Troy, NY’s laundresses, and the role of Kate Mullany in leading the country’s first sustained women’s union. We detail the conditions of the laundries, the women’s first successes agitating for better pay and working conditions, their eventual dissolution, and the legacy they left for women workers.

Eric Foner is one of the most accomplished historians of the 19th century United States. His first book, Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men, about the rise of the Republican Party, is a classic. So too is his 1988 work Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877, which won the Bancroft Prize. More recently, he has turned his attention to Abraham Lincoln. His 2011 book, The Fiery Trial, about Lincoln's views on slavery, won the Pulitzer and Lincoln Prize. Eric discusses his early career at Columbia, including his experiences working with the renowned historian Richard Hofstadter, who won the Pulitzer Prize twice in his short life. Dr. Foner also discusses his politics, his views on the current state of the history profession, and the Trump administration. He is retired from teaching, but Eric shows no signs of slowing down. He is still on a speaking tour for his most recent book, The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution, which came out in September of 2019.
Akhil Amar, professor of law and political science at Yale University, and Eric Foner, professor emeritus of history at Columbia University and author of The Second Founding: How Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution, discuss constitutional changes and challenges throughout our nation’s history. Kenneth Mack, professor of law and history at Harvard University, moderates.
Pultizer Prize-winning historian Eric Foner tells the story of the battle to inscribe equality into the Constitution. Foner traces the arc of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution—the “Reconstruction amendments”—from their dramatic pre-Civil War origins to today, detailing how they changed our founding document and shaped American history. He sits down with National Constitution Center President Jeffrey Rosen. This program was presented in conjunction with the Center’s exhibit Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality. Questions or comments about the podcast?

If you turn on the news, you’re likely to find a heated debate about big issues, from citizenship to voting rights. For Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Eric Foner, these issues are at the heart of what are often called the “Reconstruction Amendments”: the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the US Constitution. They were passed in 1865, 1868 and 1870, respectively. And if you ask Eric, they’ve been misinterpreted and overlooked for generations. On this episode, Ed sits down with Eric Foner (http://www.ericfoner.com/) , a professor emeritus of history at Columbia University, to talk about public perceptions of Reconstruction, the landmark amendments to the Constitution and how they have the power to change the country today. Foner’s new book is The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/617893/the-second-founding-by-eric-foner/9780393652574) .

From Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Eric Foner, a timely history of the constitutional changes that built equality into the nation’s foundation — and how those guarantees have been shaken over time. In The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution, Foner informs our understanding of the present as well as the past. Knowledge and vigilance are always necessary to secure our basic rights. Eric Foner will be interviewed on-stage by WITF’s Scott LaMar for Smart Talk Live.
The Democrats and Republicans in the House were doing everything they could think of to force the hands of their opponents into appointing the House Speaker. However, no one could secure the majority number of votes to take over the position. The crisis reached a breaking point when a congressman actually suggested that everyone from the House resign in order eliminate the issue entirely. With every passing day, party lines became clearer and our Loco-Focos were at the core of the anti-slavery Republican movement.Why was there a speakership crisis? How did the House overcome the crisis? What happened to the Loco-Focos in the 1850’s? Did the speakership crisis just serve as a foreshadowing of the trouble to come for the U.S.?Further Reading:Wilentz, Sean. The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln. New York: W. W.

Whigs were happy to have the White House, but many of them, at least, could still see the trouble lying head at the inevitable contest of 1852. On the strength of surprisingly large margins, the Free Soilers actually had a serious seat at the table. The Loco-Focos were the ones out there leading the young America cultural movement, they were the ones integrating Whigish abolitionism, with Jacksonian anti-monopoly, even when Van Buren had left them behind.What happened to the Free Soil Movement after Van Buren was elected? What was the Speakership Crisis of 1849? Were the Whigs more reliable allies than the Democrats? What were the Loco-Focos doing during this time of upheaval in Congress? What role did the Wilmot Proviso play in this time defined by factions?Further Reading:Blue, Frederick. The Free Soilers, Third Party Politics, 1848-54.

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com The neo-con historians strike again. Should we not expect this from the National Review? Of course, but a recent piece by "conservative" Jay Cost on "The Worst Presidents?" is particularly bad. Eric Foner could not have written it better. In fact, I wonder if Foner guest wrote the column. Cost considers Pierce, Buchanan, and Andrew Johnson to be the worst presidents in American history...after saying that ranking the presidents is impossible. There are so many problems with this piece, so I take it apart in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/support
“History does not tell us what to do,” Civil War scholar Eric Foner says, but it does help us understand how the world got this way, as long as you aren't stuck playing the Great Men greatest hits in your studies. But that's what most of us learn: a litany of good or important deeds done by familiar names that turns history into a constellation of memorized details instead of a reckoning. This pockmarked understanding of the past, and the efforts to render history into more than a sunny yet useless bit of impressionism, is the theme of Foner's Battles for Freedom: The Use and Abuse of American History. The essays within were published in The Nation between 1977 and 2017 and often hit home the stickiness of the past. In a book review about public history and Confederate monuments, he asks, “Why, one wonders, has our understanding of history changed so rapidly, but its public presentation remained so static?” Lewis H. Lapham talks with Eric Foner, author of Battles for Freedom: The Use and Abuse of American History. Thanks to our generous donors.

Few other questions in American history have generated more controversy than “What Caused the Civil War?” That conflict preserved the United States as one nation, indivisible and abolished the institution of slavery that for more than four score years had made a mockery of American claims to stand as a republic of liberty, a beacon of freedom for oppressed peoples in the Old Word. But these achievements came at the great cost of more than 629,000 lives and vast destruction of property that left large parts of the South a wasteland. Could this terrible war have been avoided? Who was responsible for the events that led to war? Could the positive results of the war (Union and Freedom) have been achieved without war? How have participants in the war and historians answered these questions over the five generations since the war ended? James M. McPherson is the George Henry Davis ’86 Professor of History at Princeton University and 2003 president of the American Historical Association. Widely acclaimed as the leading historian of the Civil War, he is the author of Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam (a New York Times bestseller), For Cause and Comrades (winner of the Lincoln Prize), and many other books on Lincoln and the Civil War era. McPherson, a pre-eminent Civil War scholar, is widely known for his ability to take American history out of the confines of the academy and make it accessible to the general reading public. His best-selling book Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era won the Pulitzer Prize in history in 1989. He also has written and edited many other books about abolition, the war and Lincoln, and he has written essays and reviews for several national publications. McPherson is the George Henry Davis ’86 Professor of History at Princeton University. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Gustavus Adolphus College and his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. This program was originally recorded at Princeton University on 12 February 2005. Part 2 of this two-part series will be published on 5 August 2017. Session One Focus: The question of what caused the Civil War is really two questions. The first is “Why did the South secede?” The second is “Why did secession lead to war?” This seminar will analyze the roots of secession. At the beginning of the American Revolution all thirteen of the states that formed the United States had slavery. By the first decade of the nineteenth century, however, states north of the Mason-Dixon line and Ohio River had abolished the institution while slavery flourished more than ever south of those lines. A definite “North” and “South” with increasingly disparate socioeconomic institutions and distinctive ideologies had begun to develop. Yet for a half century these contrasting sections coexisted politically in the same nation. Why and how did that national structure fall apart in the 1850s? Was this breakdown inevitable, or could wiser political leadership have prevented it? Why did the election of Abraham Lincoln as president precipitate the secession of seven lower-South states? Readings: James M. McPherson, “What Caused the Civil War?” North and South, IV (Nov. 2000), 12-22, and responses to this article in subsequent issues of North and South Michael Perman, ed., The Coming of the American Civil War, 23-53, 90-113, 169-88, (excerpts from writing by Beard, Owsley, Craven, Randall, Holt, and Foner) James M.
