Private Confederacies with Author James Broomall Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

This episode is brought to your for free because of our Patrons. Become a Patron and help us bring the story of Gettysburg and the men and women who helped shape its story to the masses. Click here! Or support the show in another way. Click here! I feel like a broken record, but what a great time I had interviewing Jim Broomall about his book "Private Confederacies". We met near the monument of the 111th Pa on Culp's Hill, in the shade, with a nice, gentle Pennsylvania breeze which seems to be a rarity for these in-the-field recordings in 2020. Anyway... How did the Civil War, emancipation, and Reconstruction shape the masculinity of white Confederate veterans? As James J. Broomall shows, the crisis of the war forced a reconfiguration of the emotional worlds of the men who took up arms for the South. Raised in an antebellum culture that demanded restraint and shaped white men to embrace self-reliant masculinity, Confederate soldiers lived and fought within military units where they experienced the traumatic strain of combat and its privations together--all the while being separated from suffering families. Military service provoked changes that escalated with the end of slavery and the Confederacy's military defeat. Returning to civilian life, Southern veterans questioned themselves as never before, sometimes suffering from terrible self-doubt. Drawing on personal letters and diaries, Broomall argues that the crisis of defeat ultimately necessitated new forms of expression between veterans and among men and women. On the one hand, war led men to express levels of emotionality and vulnerability previously assumed the domain of women. On the other hand, these men also embraced a virulent, martial masculinity that they wielded during Reconstruction and beyond to suppress freed peoples and restore white rule through paramilitary organizations and the Ku Klux Klan. James J. Broomall is assistant professor of history at Shepherd University and director of the George Tyler Moore Center for the Study of the Civil War. Get Private Confederacies from UNC Press here

Tim Smith's Winter Lecture Series #1- "The Roads of Gettysburg" Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

It's Winter (almost) and that means Winter lectures! Hooray!

This season, we hope to be able to bring you Tim Smith's lectures from the Farnsworth House as well as the Winter Lecture Series from GNMP.

This episode is the first of Tim's and it is about the Roads of Gettysburg. How many roads funneled into Gettysburg in 1863? 7? 8? 10? 11? 12? Depends on who you ask, apparently.

Tim's lecture is a fascinating look back at how the roads of the area formed into what they were in 1863 and what they are now.

Ask A Gettysburg Guide #48- Biddle's Brigade- with LBG Charlie Fennell Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

Charlie Fennell dropped by the studio to talk about one of the lesser-talked-about brigades of the Army of the Potomac (in spite of their high casualty rate)- Biddle's Brigade.

Technically Rowley's Brigade, Biddle's Brigade arrived on the First Corps line late in the morning on July 1, 1863. It was during that fight that they would receive the majority of their 66% loss. The fighting was intense for this brigade. So why don't most people hear a lot about it? "Because they were placed in line next to the Iron Brigade, as Charlie jokes in this episode. Perhaps there's some truth to that.

During the Patron-submitted-questions part of the show, two questions spark a debate about the "Harvest of Death" photos.

The Gettysburg Address- Read by Patrick Gorman- 2021 Re-Edit Nov 19, 2021

Show notes

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met here on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate we can not consecrate we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here.

It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.- The "Hay Copy"
