    Love you guys:). There’s many civil war ‘casts out there but no one tells these tales with as much gusto and personality as you two. Keep up the good work; if you keep making them, I’ll keep listening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Civil War Breakfast Club Episode 146 - Battle of Bentonville (recorded live at GettysGear)
Q: What went wrong with Hoke's divisions not joining the assault?
Hoke's divisions were ordered to guard the north side of the Goldsboro Road and may not have received the orders to attack at the right time. There was a lack of communication, especially as Bragg delayed the attack.
Civil War Breakfast Club Podcast Episode 142 - "Somewhere Towards Freedom" with Dr. Bennett Parton
Q: What aspect of Sherman's March drew you in to study and write about it?
Dr. Parton was inspired by reading historical fiction that included perspectives of formerly enslaved individuals following Sherman, leading him to explore their stories from a historical perspective.
Civil War Breakfast Club Podcast Episode 140 - "An Unholy Traffic" with Dr. Robert K.D. Colby
Q: What are you working on next?
I'm currently researching the life of William Andrew Jackson, tracing his journey from enslavement to freedom during the Reconstruction era.
Civil War Breakfast Club Podcast Episode 140 - "An Unholy Traffic" with Dr. Robert K.D. Colby
Q: What was your thinking in writing this book?
I wanted to explore the persistence of the slave trade during the Civil War, as it was surprising to see how slavery continued even during a conflict aimed at its abolition.
Civil War Breakfast Club Podcast Episode 128 - "Voices from Gettysburg" by Dr. Allen C. Guelzo
Q: Was it a common sense on both sides heading into the spring of 1863 that the generals were perceived differently?
You hear this so often. It's not just in the papers that you're talking about. It's all across the boards.
