  • Trouble Staying on Topic

    Civil War Talk Radio has excellent shows with amazing guest! Gerry has trouble getting to and staying on topic. Large amounts of the show have nothing to do with the subject matter. With that being said, the history itself is amazing!

Q: Where does Douglass absolutely have run out of good things to say about Lincoln in your estimation?
After the election of 1860 and Lincoln's inauguration, Douglass was disappointed, especially when Lincoln pledged to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act, seeing him as the South's greatest slave hound.

2202-Ryan Quint-Dranesville: A Northern Virginia Town in the Crossfire of a Forgotten Battle, December 20, 1861
Q: Did the political divisions in Dranesville lead to violence as the war began?
Yes, almost immediately after Virginia's secession, Unionists in Dranesville faced violent threats from their neighbors, leading to political persecution.
