Podcast appearances and mentions of Kevin M Levin

Civil War historian Kevin M. Levin joins Lisa Dent to discuss a report that Arlington National Cemetery has removed content from their website featuring Black and female veterans. While some content remains in reference to these individuals, Levin notes that the context and narrative structure has been modified.

Les Européens entendent peser de tout leur poids sur les négociations pour la paix en Ukraine. Le journal die Welt, nous dit en tout cas, que « les Européens veulent influencer les plans de Trump ». Selon le quotidien allemand, des représentants allemand, britannique et français ont été envoyés à Washington, alors que le Premier ministre britannique Keith Starmer, organise aujourd'hui une visio-conférence de crise. Die Welt cite également des sources britanniques selon lesquelles une vingtaine d'États européens sont « prêt(s) à soutenir Kiev, contre la guerre d'agression russe. Les Britanniques et les Français dirigent le groupe et veulent empêcher qu'un cessez-le-feu soit imposé à l'Ukraine qui ne servirait que les intérêts de la Russie, et ne tiendrait pas compte du fait que la Russie est l'agresseur ». Les Européens exigent également que cette trêve aboutisse « à une paix durable ». Ils envisagent le déploiement « d'une force internationale composée de soldats britanniques et français ». C'est loin d'être gagné. Comme le rappelle die Welt, « Poutine rejette catégoriquement le stationnement de troupes occidentales ».Pays pauvres et déchirés par la violenceÀ lire aussi ce matin, dans le journal Le Monde, cet article incroyable concernant les États-Unis, Israël et les Palestiniens. « Les États-Unis et Israël regardent vers l'Afrique de l'Est, pour y envoyer les Palestiniens expulsés de Gaza », titre le quotidien français, qui se fait l'écho d'informations recueillies par l'Associated Press. Quels pays en Afrique de l'Est ? Pas n'importe lesquels. Des pays pauvres et en guerre : le Soudan et la Somalie, il est aussi question du Somaliland, région sécessionniste de la Somalie. « Les contacts avec le Soudan, la Somalie et le Somaliland reflètent, estime Le Monde, la détermination des États-Unis et d'Israël à faire avancer un plan qui a été largement condamné et qui a soulevé de graves questions juridiques et morales. Parce que ces trois pays sont pauvres et, dans certains cas, déchirés par la violence, la proposition jette également le doute sur l'objectif déclaré de Donald Trump de réinstaller les Gazaouis dans une « belle région » ». Rejet catégoriqueLe Soudan, toutefois, a refusé la proposition américaine. « Le général Abdel Fattah Al-Bourhane, qui dirige l'armée régulière, a déclaré lors d'un sommet des dirigeants arabes au Caire, la semaine dernière, que son pays rejetait catégoriquement tout plan visant à transférer les frères palestiniens de leur terre sous quelque justification ou nom que ce soit ». Il n'empêche, ces informations confirment que le plan de Donald Trump, soutenu par le premier ministre israélien Benyamin Netanyahu, d'expulser tous les palestiniens de Gaza, est loin d'être abandonné… « L'idée d'un transfert massif de Palestiniens était autrefois considérée comme un fantasme de la frange ultranationaliste d'Israël », précise le Monde. « Mais, lorsque que Donald Trump a présenté cette idée lors d'une réunion à la Maison Blanche, en février, le Premier ministre israélien, Benyamin Netanyahou, l'a saluée comme une 'vision audacieuse'».L'histoire revisitéePar ailleurs, l'administration Trump continue d'imprimer sa marque dans les institutions. C'est le cas du célèbre cimetière d'Arlington, en Virginie. Cimetière militaire où sont enterrés plus de 290 000 anciens combattants. Or « les informations sur les militaires noirs, et hispaniques, et sur les femmes militaires », explique le Washington Post, « ont disparu de son site web. » Disparition assumée par un porte-parole du cimetière, affirmant, que ses responsables « travaillent pour garantir que le contenu publié sur le site soit conforme aux politiques de l'administration ». Ce qui ne va pas de soi pour tout le monde. Des historiens protestent. C'est le cas de Kevin M. Levin, historien de la guerre de Sécession, qui estime la situation « extrêmement regrettable », car, dit-il, « c'est exactement le genre d'histoires que nous souhaitons que les élèves apprennent.  Une histoire qui permette aux élèves d'horizons différents de nouer un lien profond avec l'un de nos sites sacrés ». Et l'historien conclut  : « les gens pensent qu'on pourra, en quelques clics, remettre ces sites en état. Mais je pense que nous allons avoir un réveil brutal en réalisant tout ce que nous risquons de perdre en termes de travail accumulé et de confiance bâtie au fil des ans ».

Review of:  Searching for Black Confederates: The Civil War's Most Persistent Myth, by Kevin M. Levin Reviewed by Stan Prager, Regarp Book Blog  

Ho hum; another mass shooting on a school campus - and Georgia Democrats had JUST opined openly that Republicans have zero interest in doing anything to protect kids from them. MARTA might as well stand for "muffed another rapid transit aspiration," as they announce more buses - this time for Clifton Corridor. Then, my guest today is Kevin M. Levin, Civil War historian & author, who's latest SubStack blog hones in on a Confederate monument STILL on Broad Street in downtown Augusta - and its ties to a deadly anti-black massacre in nearby Hamburg, SC. This is me giving you some of that AP African American History Ron DeSantis wants to shield you from. SUBSTACK: AUGUSTA, GEORGIA'S MONUMENT TO WHITE SUPREMACY STILL STANDS AMAZON BOOKS: KEVIN M.

More than 150 years after the end of the Civil War, scores of websites, articles, and organizations repeat claims that anywhere between 500 and 100,000 free and enslaved African Americans fought willingly as soldiers in the Confederate army. But as Kevin M. Levin argues in this carefully researched book, such claims would have shocked anyone who served in the army during the war itself. Levin explains that imprecise contemporary accounts, poorly understood primary-source material, and other misrepresentations helped fuel the rise of the black Confederate myth. Moreover, Levin shows that belief in the existence of black Confederate soldiers largely originated in the 1970s, a period that witnessed both a significant shift in how Americans remembered the Civil War and a rising backlash against African Americans' gains in civil rights and other realms. Levin also investigates the roles that African Americans actually performed in the Confederate army, including personal body servants and forced laborers. He demonstrates that regardless of the dangers these men faced in camp, on the march, and on the battlefield, their legal status remained unchanged. Even long after the guns fell silent, Confederate veterans and other writers remembered these men as former slaves and not as soldiers, an important reminder that how the war is remembered often runs counter to history. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antiquity-middlages/support

In this episode Historian Kevin M. Levin the author of Searching for Black Confederates: The Civil War's Most Persistent Myth takes us into a fascinating discussion of the roots and causes of the American Civil War, the decline and collapse of the Confederacy and more importantly the origins, development and manifestation of the Confederate Lost Cause Movement. At the beginning he talks about what he thinks about when pondering the American Civil War before moving on into the very heart of the episode. He begins by setting a foundation and exploring core issues and events preceding the eventual secession and war from talking about the American expansion into new territories, the question of "New States" and slavery, Bleeding Kansas and naturally the Compromise of 1850 and the collapse of the Whig Party and the beginning of the Republican Party. But then we come to the end of the Confederacy and the origins, birth and manifestation of the Lost Cause movement and its mythical and fictional narratives that became a cancer within American historiography and the role it plays in miseducating and misinforming the public today. He discusses slavery and the "states rights" debate while debunking many of the myths put forward in Lost Cause narratives that are still defended today by Neo Confederates such as Black Confederates a term that attempts to explain away "camp slaves" which is narrative that Neo Confederates cling to today while avoiding the truth, horror and reality of American slavery. We discuss confederate monuments, the monument debate and the role that groups have played such as the Daughters of the Confederacy from memorial services to the very monuments that spark debates today. From modern Americans who struggle with their Confederate ancestors to the internet and its role in misinformation and the safe space it gives "fake history" this episode truly encompasses the very heart and soul of American history and the battle that still rages involving the origins of the American Civil War and the movements that came after. We end by asking why Americans have a fascination and almost romanticized view of Civil War and why the USA continues to struggle with its past. Topics debunked: That slavery wasn't the fundamental cause of secession and the eventual outbreak of war. The myth of unlimited Northern resources over Confederate bad generalship. The States rights narrative. Black Confederates. The loyal slave narrative. The myth of Northern Aggression. The myth of Confederate Unity. The myth of the "morally" superior South. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antiquity-middlages/support

In this episode, we chat with educator, historian, and author Kevin M. Levin about his book "Searching for Black Confederates: The Civil War's Most Persistent Myth".To be clear, the discussion wasn't about whether enslaved and free black men were part of the Confederate Army. They were. What is under discussion is the capacity in which they served and the distinction between body servants, camp slaves, and soldiers.We cover quite a bit of ground in this episode, including records, repositories, and archives you can access to research enslaved and free men who were part of the body of the Confederate Army.Join us live every Sunday at 4pm EST via:1. https://listenvision.com/wlvs-radio OR2. https://www.facebook.com/genealogyadventuresusa Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/genealogy-adventures.
