Join Emerging Civil War for a discussion about the role of podcasters in the Civil War community, moderated by ECW Editor-in-Chief Chris Mackowski. On the panel: • Jim Hessler of The Battle of Gettysburg Podcast. Jim is a Licensed Battlefield Guide at Gettysburg. • Kevin Levin of Civil War Memory. • Darren Rawlings of The American Civil War and U.K. History Podcast. Darren is ECW's Social Media Manager. • Joe Ricci of Home Brew History. Joe is historian at the Battle of Franklin Trust. • Cecily Zander, ECW's chief historian. The conversation was inspired by a September article in The Atlantic by Arash Azizi, "The Dangerous Rise of the Podcast Historians."

Collective memory -- what our society chooses to remember, honor, or erase from our past -- is perpetually mediated. For generations Confederate statues and monuments stood in public squares until a new racial reckoning compelled cities and towns to remove them. But that wasn't the end of the story -- at least not in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Its school board voted to restore the names of Confederate Generals Lee, Jackson, and Ashby to a pair of schools which had been renamed (Honey Run and Mountain View) in 2020. In Tennessee, the caretakers of the Franklin Battlefield just dedicated a new monument honoring the Texas soldiers who fought there for the Confederacy in 1864. In this episode, historian and Substack writer Kevin Levin discusses the grip Lost Cause mythology continues to hold on the minds of some Americans today, and the difficult task of acknowledging important historical events and actors without glorifying their causes.

Confederate Gen. James Longstreet was one of the original victims of "cancel culture"—and he was "cancelled" by fellow Confederates. Historians Kevin Levin and Todd Groce join the Emerging Civil War Podcast for a discussion of Confederate Cancel Culture. Kevin Levin writes the Civil War Memory blog on Substack (kevinmlevin.substack.com), and Todd Groce is the president and CEO of the Georgia Historical Society (www.georgiahistory.com). This episode of the Emerging Civil War Podcast is brought to you by Civil War Trails, the world's largest open-air museum, offering more than 1,500 sites across six states.

Kevin Levin proudly states that black Confederates were a "myth." He wrote an entire polemic, I mean book, dedicated to punching holes in a straw man while using clever semantics to prove his thesis. Of course, he thinks I have not read his 187 page op-ed. I have, and this is one of those reviews I love to do. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/support

In today's episode we dive deeper than ever before into two teams who understand the stakes. Teabo's 1 Seed Five's Five return like Groundhog Day to do battle against Cody's 5 Seed Seattle Divinity in a rematch of the Cartoon Network Final. Dillon is joined by Chase (Chestuh McBadBad) to decide who moves on to the final. In today's ep: I pull lots of quotes out of context, there's some Talkin' Sauce slander and also support, #FreeBlossom gets trending, we make a lot of visual jokes, the God of Basketball changes position, Numbah 5 becomes the empathetic villain, Kevin Levin makes a bid for defensive player of the year, and a good time is had by all. Guest Starring Rocky Balboa and Rod Brind'amour.

In today's episode we break into the second round of the Big Toon Tournament. Justin's number 4 seed Bad Boyz host Cody's number 5 seed Seattle Divinity in a game that canonically takes place at the Palace at Auburn Hills directly after the Malice. Justin has packed the crowd and co-moderator Darius (Peanut (ctrl alt p))) makes sure security is at an all-time low. In this ep: Peanut takes over, the boys discuss Perry the Platypus' alleged death, Panthro manages to stay on the court, Zeus is distracted by Justin's special halftime speech guest, Kevin Levin becomes a talking sword, Genie is mic'ed up and talking spicy, we get some truly golden NBA comps, and finally, the toughest decision yet comes down to double overtime.

Civil War historian, Kevin Levin, explains the history and development of the myth of black soldiers in the Confederate army. He analyses camp servants and slaves during the war, how their service was remembered after the war, and how it became fictionalized and mythologized in the 1970s. Yes, the 1970s, not the 1870s. A fascinating episode on Civil War history and memory!

En este episodio junto a Kevin Levin, sociólogo (UBA) y especialista en Medio Oriente (Columbia), nos adentramos en la apasionante (y en momentos traumatica) historia del Sionismo, el movimiento nacionalista judío que comenzó a desarrollarse en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y que en menos de 100 años fundó el Estado Judío, el Estado de Israel, en Mayo de 1948. ¿Por qué si los judíos durante casi 2000 años rezamos para volver a Israel recién lo buscamos en la práctica hacia finales del siglo XIX? ¿Fue Theodoro Herzl el padre fundador del sionismo o hubo quienes lo presidieron? ¿La comunidad judía apoyó siempre la idea de crear un Estado judío? ¿Hubo realmente un plan para fundar un Estado Judío en Uganda o Argentina? ¿Qué rol tuvo el sionismo en el resurgimiento del hebreo? Un episodio apasionante para conocer más sobre uno de los períodos creativos más importantes de la historia judía.

In this episode Matt Crawford speaks to author and educator Kevin Levin about his book Searching for Black Confederates: The Civil War's Most Persistent Myth. I don't think this book could have come at a more opportune time. This book debunks the myth that African Americans slaves served in the Confederate Army and also delves into the underlying issues that make that a point of contention in the first place. Levin does this in a historical and non vitriolic way and more importantly in an enjoyable and captivating read. I highly recommend this book for anyone searching for answers to the current racial climate. This book is a very good place to start.

Kevin Levin is an award-winning historian and educator whose work has been featured by The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, C-SPAN and NPR. His new book is Searching For Black Confederates: The Civil War's Most Persistent Myth. Levin explains how the Internet has allowed lies and disinformation about American history and the Civil War to spread so easily and the harm that is doing to the country's politics. Levin details why more than 150 years after the end of the Civil War so many people are still not able to accept that white supremacy and slavery were the root causes of why the traitorous Confederacy seceded from the Union. Levin also explains the origins of the myth of Black Confederate Soldiers and what it reveals about historical memory and questions of racial justice and democracy in post-civil rights America. Chauncey DeVega offers some advice about how to stay calm and focused during these tumultuous and chaotic weeks as almost every day it seems there is some “revelation” about the Trump regime's war on democracy and the rule of law. A hint: accept what Donald Trump is and then everything all makes sense – and you don't go crazy. Chauncey also shares some overlooked and very important news items that show how the Trump regime's evil is hurting real people all across America.

Historian Kevin Levin introduces his book “Searching for Black Confederates:The Civil War’s Most Persistent Myth”.

This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, I speak with historian Kevin Levin about his new book, Searching for Black Confederates: The Civil War’s Most Persistent Myth. The story behind this myth that tens of thousands of free and enslaved black men fought on behalf of the Confederacy is fascinating. And in light of recent conflicts over the Confederate flag and Confederate monuments, it’s a very timely and important book that examines why the myth was developed in the late 1970s and how it has been used to argue that slavery was not the cause of the Civil War. In the course of our discussion, Kevin Levin explains: How the Black Confederate myth emerged in the 1970s in response to the civil rights movement and new historical scholarship that emphasized slavery as the cause of the Civil War. How the Confederate military effort relied on the labor of tens of thousands of African Americans – but as enslaved workers, not soldiers. Why many white Confederates brought enslaved men to accompany them as servants during their service in the Civil War. How and why historic photographs and official government records are either misinterpreted or willfully misrepresented as “evidence” of Black Confederate soldiers.  How the Black Confederate myth has found its way into history textbooks and public history exhibitions. And why the current popularity of the Black Confederate myth reveals how Americans have not yet come to terms with race, slavery, and the Civil War.

All the while, he makes sure to pay attention to the actions of African Americans during the Civil War and after its conclusion. Kevin Levin is an award-winning educator and historian, who studies the American Civil War. Derek Litvak is a Ph.D. student in the department of history at the University of Maryland.

In this episode of Leading By History we interview researcher and author Kevin Levin (Searching for Black Confederates: the Civil War's Most Persistent Myth) about a most debated topic - the existence of black Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. This assertion has been pushed for three decades by some of the greatest supporters of the "Lost Cause" as well as prominent African-American professors. How could so many people be wrong?

Kevin Levin is a veteran of the history wars. He is perhaps best known for his popular blog Civil War Memory. But he is also a teacher and published scholar, who has not backed down in the face of intimidation from the "heritage" crowd. A native of New Jersey, Kevin has degrees from the University of Maryland and the University of Richmond, where he wrote a thesis on the Civil War that became the basis for his first book, The Battle of the Crater: War as Murder. At a cozy hotel in downtown Charlottesville, Colin and Kevin talk about doing history and how it often treads on uncomfortable political ground. Also, Kevin talks about his new book project, soon to be published by University of North Carolina Press, which addresses the myth of black Confederate soldiers. Can historians really make themselves heard above the political noise surrounding Confederate monuments and the Rebel flag? Do facts matter in an age of "fake news?" Listen and find out!

Can we change minds about Confederate monuments? Kevin Levin is a historian and educator studying the American Civil War and memory. His book, Remembering the Battle of the Crater: War as Murder (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), was just released in paperback and he is the author of a recent article in the Atlantic Why I Changed My Mind About Confederate Monuments.

You may have heard people talk about the thousands of black Confederate soldiers who filled the ranks of southern armies during the Civil War. Well...those people are confused. There really no evidence at all that these folks existed - no matter how badly some folks would like them to have been on board with the Rebel cause. I recently had a talk with Kevin Levin - who knows more than most on this subject - especially why this is such a persistent myth. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-rogue-historian/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-rogue-historian/support

History is complex, and therefore generalizations are a historian’s inaccurate, crude, and necessary tools. So I’ll make one: The Post-Civil War era of Reconstruction is perhaps the least understood – or, when something is known about it – most misunderstood period in American history. In addition to knowing little more about Reconstruction than the bare facts presented as a footnote in history surveys, many of us have engravings about it. (Lendol Calder and I explore this in an earlier conversation.) To paraphrase Mark Twain on engravings: It's not the lack of knowledge about history that's the problem; it's what we know about it that "just ain't so." Reconstruction seems to have more engravings per square foot on the American mind that just about any other era. Our expert witness on Reconstruction is Dr. Douglas Egerton. A professor of American history at Lemoyne College in Syracuse, NY, he has since 1989 produced a literal bookshelf of works on enslavement and liberty. Along with his 2010 Year of Meteors: Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, and the Election That Brought on the Civil War and 2009 Death or Liberty: African Americans and Revolutionary America, his 2014 book The Wars of Reconstruction: The Brief, Violent History of America's Most Progressive Era forms, to my mind, a trilogy on the African-American struggle for liberty. This conversation came about as a result of a listener request from Dr. Jerry Herbert. If you would like to hear a conversation about a particular historical event, a historian, a book, a place--or anything else we talk about on this program, I’d welcome your suggestion; please join our Facebook group and post a request. Thanks for listening! For Further Investigation • There's no need to provide a long Reconstruction reading list here, since Civil War Memory's Kevin Levin provides such a great one. • Douglas Egerton's web page at LeMoyne College links to his many books • HarpWeek is an educational site using the archives of Harper's Weekly, an illustrated news magazine in publication from 1857-1916. During the Civil War and Reconstruction, it featured the art of such giants as Thomas Nast and Winslow Homer, as well as writing dedicated to the Republican and Union cause. The "sub sites" on the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments are really features on Reconstruction. (Alfred Waud's illustration "The First Vote"  provides us with the iconic image I include above.) • More Than Anything Else, by Maria Bradby. Children's literature is often a powerful tool for teaching history. Perhaps with more immediacy than any monograph ever could have, Bradby recounts the experience of a formerly enslaved child (in this case future teacher and college-builder Booker T. Washington), hitherto prevented from reading and learning, as he harnesses the power of words. A brilliant child's-eye view of the power of the Reconstruction era.

We also talk to Chef Jeff Purrazzi (@forkingchef) one of the founders of JK collection, a premier private Chef firm based out of the Hamptons.

Sorry for the long hiatus since the last episode. I'm really happy to be back with a new episode of American History Untucked.My guest for this show is Kevin Levin, whose blog Civil War Memory has been probably my favorite Civil War website for years. He is also the author of an excellent recent book, Remembering the Battle of the Crater: War as Murder and has written for the New York Times and the Atlantic. He's managed to do all this while teaching high school full time. 

The iTunes feed seems to be acting up. I've reposted it.
