In Part Two of his interview, Pulitzer prize-winning writer Howell Raines, author of "Silent Cavalry, How Union Soldiers From Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta, And Then Got Written Out Of History," talks with Carolyn Hutcheson of In Focus about Union General Sherman's tactics that destroyed civilian property. The goal of the author in this Storyline book series segment is to share research into previously suppressed Civil War records. The Alabama Department of Archives and History has subsequently digitized many of the records of the First Alabama Cavalry USA for public access.

Pulitzer Prize - winning writer Howell Raines talks with Carolyn Hutcheson of In Focus for The Storyline book series about his family's Civil War story and his book, "Silent Cavalry, How Union Soldiers From Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta - And Then Got Written Out of History." The author's research revealed that conflict between "mountain whites" who didn't own slaves and south Alabama plantation owners divided citizens' loyalties. Some wanted to stay in the Union, while others wanted to secede. This is part one of a two-part interview.  

As the popular narrative goes, the Civil War was won when courageous Yankees triumphed over the South. But an aspect of the war that has remained little-known for 160 years is the Alabamian Union soldiers who played a decisive role in the Civil War, only to be scrubbed from the history books. One such group was the First Alabama Calvary, formed in 1862. It went on raids that destroyed Confederate communications and also marched with Sherman's forces across the South. They aided the fall of Vicksburg and the burning of Atlanta.Today's guest is Howell Raines, author of “Silent Cavalry: How Union Soldiers from Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta—and Then Got Written Out of History.” As Raines has pieced together, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's decisive effort to burn Atlanta was facilitated by an unsung regiment of 2,066 yeoman farmers and former slaves from Alabama—including at least one member of Raines's own family.So why have the best-known Civil War historians, including Ken Burns and Shelby Foote, given only passing – or no – attention to this regiment of southerners who chose to fight for the North – a regiment that General Sherman hailed as one of the finest in the Union? We explore this question through an account of Alabama's Mountain Unionists and their exploits, along with investigating why they and others like them were excised from the historical record.

September 15, 1963, should have been a typical Sunday at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. In the church basement, children busily prepared for youth Sunday. Five little girls, ranging in age from 11 to 14, were in the women's bathroom, changing into choir robes and fixing their hair when an explosion rocked the church. Glass shattered. The church's rear wall crumbled. The girls flew through the air. Upstairs, the adults panicked. They ran for their children. Four little girls died that day. There wasn't much of a question as to who'd done this. For years, the KKK had bombed Black churches and Black people's homes. They'd done so with little to no punishment from authorities. But surely they wouldn't get away with killing children in church. And now for a note about our process. For this episode, Kristin read a bunch of articles, then spat them back out in her very limited vocabulary. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “The Birmingham Church Bombing: Bombingham,” by Mark Gado for Crime Library “Trial of bombing suspect begins,” by Jay Reeves for the Associated Press “Alabamian guilty in ‘63 church blast that killed 4 girls,” by B. Drummond Ayres Jr. for the New York Times “Chambliss guilty,” Associated Press “Birmingham bomber Bobby Frank Cherry dies in prison at 74,” by Yvonne Shinhoster Lamb for the Washington Post “Birmingham bomb case goes to jury,” by Howell Raines for the St Petersburg Times “Ghosts of Alabama: The prosecution of Bobby Frank Cherry for the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church,” by Donald Q. Cochran for the Michigan Journal of Race and Law “60 years ago, Alabama church bombing killed 4 girls and catalyzed a movement,” by DeNeen L. Brown for the Washington Post “Congress honors victims of infamous Alabama church bombing,” by Debbie Elliott for NPR “50 years after the bombing, Birmingham still subtly divided,” by Debbie Elliott for NPR “Alabama Gov. apologizes to surviving ‘5th girl' of 1963 KKK bombing,” by Vanessa Romo for NPR “16th Street Baptist Church bombing,” National Park Service “16th Street Baptist Church bombing,” entry on Wikipedia YOU'RE STILL READING?

Stop the presses—we've got a scandal! We're trying to figure out what “Howell Raines-ing” Paris means for the Yale Daily News Staff, which means we're doing some investigative journalism about Raines and his role in the Jayson Blair scandal of the early ‘00s. We watch the documentary A Fragile Trust: Plagiarism, Power and Jayson Blair at the New York Times, and then we ask questions like: How many lies can you tell before you get caught? Can you lose the company car and keep your job? And is the Yale newsroom the breeding ground for the next Howell Raines? We Wholeheartedly Recommend: Elvis (2022), Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)Other pop culture we ref: Valerie Plame, All the President's Men, Matt Lauer, Star Wars, Meghan Markle, Blake SheltonCheck us out on Instagram!Subscribe to our email list!So it's a show?

Our year-in-review show starts with Katha Pollitt on #MeToo, from Bill O'Reilly to Al Franken. Katha of course is a columnist for The Nation. Also: Alabama was the state with the most remarkable political year. Howell Raines, the legendary Alabama journalist, reviews the year, starting with Jeff Sessions's appointment as attorney general and ending with his replacement by the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Alabama in 30 years.

Also: Alabama was the state with the most remarkable political year. Howell Raines, the legendary Alabama journalist, reviews the year, starting with Jeff Sessions's appointment as attorney general and ending with his replacement by the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Alabama in 30 years.

Plus, John Nichols on The Resistance in 2017 and Howell Raines on Alabama’s amazing year.

Alabama voters defeated Roy Moore and elected civil rights hero Doug Jones to the Senate—to take the seat vacated by Jeff Sessions. Howell Raines, the legendary Alabama journalist, explains what happened—and what it means for the future. Plus: What should happen with the “Me Too” campaign to expose sexual harassment, now that Al Franken has said he will leave the Senate?  Joan Walsh says Franken’s departure should be “a beginning, not an end.” Also, net neutrality: the FCC is planning to bring it to an end on Thursday. John Nichols thinks that’s a terrible idea.

From the Alabama hill country to the state’s Black Belt, Roy Moore, the Republican senate candidate accused of sexual assault of a 14-year-old, seems to be losing ground to his Democratic opponent Doug Jones.  Howell Raines, the legendary Alabama newsman, reports on the final days of the election campaign. Also: It’s been a big week for Russiagate special counsel Robert Mueller.  Bob Dreyfuss discusses the guilty plea by Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and the subpoena for Trump’s records at Deutsche Bank, notorious for money laundering—two developments with ominous implications for the president. Plus: Two ways to interview a Nazi: on the one hand, The New York Times recently did a profile of “the Nazi next door,” portraying him as an ordinary guy; on the other, Gary Younge confronted Richard Spencer, America’s leading white supremacist, on video.  With Gary’s help, we compare and contrast the two approaches.

The legendary journalist Howell Raines reports from Alabama on the continuing Republican support for Roy Moore, the Senate candidate accused of molesting a 14-year-old and sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl. Meanwhile, his Democratic opponent, the heroic civil-rights attorney Doug Jones, is running “the most vigorous Democratic campaign that's been waged in Alabama in at least 30 years.” Also, Trump and the bomb: We're hoping the generals keep him from doing anything crazy, like starting a nuclear war with North Korea—but the system is set up to give the president control over nuclear weapons, rather than the military. Adam Shatz explains--he wrote about Trump and the bomb for the London Review of Books.

The legendary journalist Howell Raines reports from Alabama on the continuing Republican support for Roy Moore; Adam Shatz talks about Trump's place in the system to control nuclear weapons; and Corey Robin talks about Trump's place in the tradition of reactionary political thought.

Andrew calls up Luke and reaches him in his Portland hotel room, where he's trying to learn how to sew. They discuss the intersection of Betsy Ross and Howell Raines, Luke's run-in with a fake Kardashian, and why Andrew keeps setting shoelaces on fire.
