Since 2010, the Kentucky Historical Society has been the proud home of the Civil War Governors of Kentucky Digital Documentary Edition, a digital project committed to understanding and interpreting Kentucky's role in the Civil War. Over the past decade, CWGK has digitized thousands of letters that crossed the desks of Kentucky's five wartime governors. The letters offer a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Kentuckians—men and women, free and enslaved, Unionists and Confederates. It's been another busy year for CWGK, and I recently sat down with the team to discuss their new website, other achievements, and their goals for the future. Join us for a discussion with Drs. Chuck Welsko, Jacob Wood, and Chase McCarter. Dr. Welsko earned his Ph.D. from West Virginia University. He specializes in the cultural, social, and political history of the Civil War era, with a focus on border regions, loyalty, slavery, nationalism, and identity formation. Welsko has published in West Virginia History: A Journal of Regional Studies as well as in the edited collection Slavery and Freedom in the Bluegrass State: Revisiting My Old Kentucky Home. He is currently working on a book manuscript tentatively titled, Breaking and Remaking the Mason-Dixon Line: Loyalty in Civil War America. Dr. Jacob T. Wood is a nineteenth century political historian who works as an editorial specialist with the Civil War Governors of Kentucky Digital Documentary Edition. He graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2023 with his PhD under the supervision of Mark Summers. His current research focuses on party politics in the decades before the Civil War. His current book project "Any Changes, Eh?" studies the prevalence of party switching in the antebellum era. Dr. Chase H. McCarter is a historian of the U.S. Civil War era and a former editorial specialist with CWGK. His research focuses on the collapse of the Confederacy, the Lost Cause, and histories of racism. Chase received his Ph.D. in U.S. history in 2025 from the University of New Mexico under the direction of David Prior. His current book project explores the emotional underpinnings of the ex-Confederate diaspora to Latin America after the Civil War.

What are You Doing with Jesus - Britt McCarter by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

The aftermath of national tragedy provides a somber backdrop as Navy SEAL veteran Bill Brown joins us to discuss his fight for veteran equality – a battle that extends from courtrooms to state legislatures and strikes at the heart of how America treats those who served.Bill's journey began at prestigious law firm McCarter & English, where his outspoken conservative views and veteran advocacy allegedly made him a target. While parts of his discrimination lawsuit continue moving forward under federal protections, a New Jersey judge delivered a critical message: comprehensive workplace protection for veterans requires legislative action.This revelation sparked Bill's current mission – amending New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination to include veterans as a protected class. The irony isn't lost on him: "They have these protected classes... based on haircuts. You won't give men and women who serve this country those same rights?" His frustration deepened when two promising bills stalled despite clearing committee approval.The contrast is stark. While state laws shield numerous groups from workplace discrimination, veterans – who write "a blank check to put everything on the line" – lack comparable safeguards. This gap proves particularly harmful as veterans already face unique challenges reintegrating into civilian life, from rebuilding professional networks to combating stereotypes about their service.Our conversation shifts to the New York City Navy SEAL Swim, now in its seventh year, which exemplifies how veterans continue serving long after removing the uniform. The event honors fallen teammates and 9/11 victims while supporting the Navy SEAL Foundation. It brings together diverse communities – SEALs, first responders, survivors, and supporters – in a powerful demonstration of unity.As we reflect on tragedy and resilience on this September 11th, Bill's advocacy reminds us that supporting veterans means more than symbolic gestures – it requires ensuring they receive the same protections afforded to other Americans. Join us as we explore discrimination law, patriotic service, and one SEAL's refusal to stand down when fighting for his brothers and sisters in arms.Support the showVisit my website: https://thehello.llc/THERESACARPENTERRead my writings on my blog: https://www.theresatapestries.com/Listen to other episodes on my podcast: https://storiesofservice.buzzsprout.comWatch episodes of my podcast:https://www.youtube.com/c/TheresaCarpenter76
