5/8: Lincoln's Peace: The Struggle to End the American Civil War Hardcover – Illustrated, March 18, 2025  by  Michael Vorenberg 1865 JOHNSON INAUGURATION  https://www.amazon.com/Lincolns-Peace-Struggle-American-Civil/dp/1524733172 We set out on the James River, March 25, 1865, aboard the paddle steamboat River Queen. President Lincoln is on his way to General Grant's headquarters at City Point, Virginia, and he's decided he won't return to Washington until he's witnessed, or perhaps even orchestrated, the end of the Civil War. Now, it turns out, more than a century and a half later, historians are still searching for that end. Was it April 9, at Appomattox, as conventional wisdom holds, where Lee surrendered to Grant in Wilmer McLean's parlor? Or was it ten weeks afterward, in Galveston, where a federal commander proclaimed Juneteenth the end of slavery? Or perhaps in August of 1866, when President Andrew Johnson simply declared “the insurrection is at an end”? That the answer was elusive was baffling even to a historian of the stature of Michael Vorenberg, whose work served as a key source of Steven Spielberg's Lincoln. Vorenberg was inspired to write this groundbreaking book, finding its title in the peace Lincoln hoped for but could not make before his assassination. A peace that required not one but many endings, as Vorenberg reveals in these pages, the most important of which came well more than a year after Lincoln's untimely death.  To say how a war ends is to suggest how it should be remembered, and Vorenberg's search is not just for the Civil War's endpoint but for its true nature and legacy, so essential to the American identity. It's also a quest, in our age of “forever wars,” to understand whether the United States's interminable conflicts of the current era have a precedent in the Civil War—and whether, in a sense, wars ever end at all, or merely wax and wane.

Professor Michael Vorenberg joins us to address one of the most perplexing questions in US history. Did the Civil War end on April 9, at Appomattox, as conventional wisdom holds, where Lee surrendered to Grant in Wilmer McLean's parlor? Or was it ten weeks afterward, in Galveston, where a federal commander proclaimed Juneteenth the end of slavery? Or perhaps in August of 1866, when President Andrew Johnson simply declared “the insurrection is at an end”? And we talk about the general question of when wars truly end. Fascinating! Episode 578.

One historian's journey to find the end of the Civil War—and, along the way, to expand our understanding of the nature of war itself and how societies struggle to draw the line between war and peace.

Appomattox Appointment PS 46:10  #RTTBROS #Nightlight  Appomattox Appointment  Psalm 46:10 (KJV) says "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." The Battle of Bull Run was the first major battle of the American Civil War. (There would end up being two battles fought at Bull Run most references are to the first one.) A man named Wilmer Mcean lived close to Manassas where the Battle was fought, in fact shortly after the battle he bought part of the battlefield from the Carter family.  Later he decided he wanted to settle somewhere more peaceful so he moved a hundred miles South to Appomattox County. Several years after moving there, in April of 1865, a Confederate messenger completely unaware of McLean's prior ‘involvement' in the war, knocked on the door of McLean's new home and asked if Robert E. Lee might use the house on the following day to meet with Ulysses Grant and sign a formal surrender. McLean reluctantly agreed. Some time later, Wilmer McLean is supposed to have said, ‘The war began in my front yard, and ended in my front parlor.'" Like Wilmer Mclean, who tried to escape the Civil War by moving away from the first battle, we often try to run away from God and the areas of our life where we struggle to surrender control to Him. We put up a fight, resisting His will and trying to do things our own way. But just as the war followed Mclean to his new home, God patiently pursues us in our running. He desires that we stop fighting and know the peace and rest that come with surrender. No matter how far we run, we cannot escape the Lord who wants to free us from the heavy burdens of our sin and self-rule. Like Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant in Mclean's parlor, we must surrender our prideful hearts to our loving Father. When we stop struggling and let God take His rightful place on the throne of our lives, we will find the comfort and freedom we have been searching for all along. He is waiting with open arms to welcome us home. The battle rages on only if we continue waging war in those areas God wants to rule. But when we wave the white flag and submit to the King of Kings, the struggle ceases. We can be still in His presence and know the peace and purpose that come with full surrender.

In today's episode, we'll be talking about one of the most fascinating aspects of the American Civil War. More audacious historical boasts than Wilmer McLean's claim that the American Civil War "began in my front yard and finished in my parlor" are uncommon. One that is genuinely accurate, like McLean's, is even rarer. How did McLean, a simple 47-year-old Virginia businessman whose homes would serve as the beginning and ending points to a nation's arduous four-year struggle, become the Civil War's central figure?

Resistir al Diablo nos dice Santiago 4. Wilmer McLean vio comenzar y terminar la guerra civil estadounidense (1861-1865) en su casa. Quiso huir, y no pudo.

La guerre civile fait rage aux Etats-Unis au milieu du XIXe siècle. Un homme, Wilmer McLean, tente désespérément de la fuir, en vain. Notre prof d'histoire Axel nous présente cet inconnu au bataillon qui a vu la guerre de Sécession commencer dans son jardin, pour se finir dans son salon !

Wilmer McLean was a simple grocer living a quiet life in a quaint home in Manassas, VA. When his neighborhood took a turn for the worse and his house was vandalized, he decided to move farther south and bought a different quaint home. What happened next was no coincidence.

The U.S. Civil War left in its wake some 750,000 dead, the American countryside in ruins, and a nation healing from bitter division. The stories of the people and families, however, tell the true impact this war had on our great nation. Maybe none more so than the story of Wilmer McLean - a merchant and family man from Virginia. His experience in the Civil War is one of great irony and one that traces the campaign from start...to finish. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/themissingchapter/support

We all think we have bad luck dont we? Well, have you ever had a war start in your front yard, and then end in your parlor? Wilmer Mclean has! This weeks story is all about his life and how the civil war began and ended in his house. Sit down, have a beer, and learn a thing or two.

The first land battle of the Civil war was attended by civilians that walked to the field to watch. It also came to the front door of Wilmer McLean, who then moved away only to have the war catch up with him again 4 years later. 

Wilmer McLean has a very interesting connection to the Civil War, but it’s not as a soldier or general. Tom and Austin bring you the info on Ol’ Wilmer without Lexi this time, but fear not, she will be back for the next episode!

Within the Christian life there is one of two battle fronts that we will find ourselves in—we will either battle for self-preservation (fighting for the enemy against God) or we will battle for self-denial (fighting for God against the enemy). Using the story of Wilmer McLean from the Civil War, Pastor Eric Ludy addresses the topic of having to deliberately choose in the Christian life whom we will serve. The truth is, we will refuse something, the question is what? It is time to make a decision.
