Connecting Past & Present: Civil War's Influence Today

Erik Larson is probably the most successful popular historian working today. His books, which include "The Devil in the White City" and "The Splendid and the Vile," have sold a staggering 12 million copies. His latest, "The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War," debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times bestsellers list this week. It's a gripping account of the five months between Abraham Lincoln's election and the outbreak of the Civil War - a 163-year-old chapter in our history that Erik says is alarmingly relevant. 00:00 - Tension at Fort Sumpter 01:50 - Decisive Moments and Surrender 03:20 - Impact of Lincoln's Election 05:10 - Major Robert Anderson's Strategic Move 06:45 - Escalation and Confederate Demand 08:30 - Lincoln's Inaugural Address 10:00 - Outbreak of War 11:40 - Lincoln's Response and Call for Troops 13:15 - Reflection on Lincoln's Leadership 15:00 - Historical Perspectives and Modern Parallels 16:40 - Initial Public Reaction to Fort Sumter 18:15 - Lincoln's Management of the Crisis 20:10 - Challenges in Union's Military Preparation 21:50 - Confederate Advantages and Strategy 23:30 - Role of Telecommunications in War Tactics 25:10 - Economic Impacts of the War on Southern States 27:00 - International Perspectives and Involvement 28:45 - Media Influence and Propaganda 30:20 - Lincoln's Diplomatic Efforts 32:05 - Emancipation Proclamation 33:50 - Military Engagements and Key Battles 35:35 - War Attrition and Impact on Civil Populations 37:10 - Technological Innovations and Their Impact on Warfare 39:00 - Closing Stages of the Civil War 40:45 - Assassination of Abraham Lincoln 42:30 - Post-War Reconstruction Challenges 44:15 - Legacy of the Civil War and Its Modern Interpretations *********** 💡Discover the best new books with the Next Big Idea Club, a revolutionary book club experience.
