  • Summary

  • On this week's episode of History Reconsidered, Sumantra Maitra and Jarrett Stepman talk about the conduct and strategy of the Civil War, for both the Union and the Confederacy. They then talk about the effects of the Civil War, the casualties and the psychological impact on the nation. Most estimates put the death total at 620,000, but some more recent analyses put the number much higher. It was the deadliest conflict in American history, with death totals nearly surpassing all other U.S. wars combined.


    Maitra and Stepman also get into the international environment and how Northern and Southern leaders dealt with European powers as their armies clashed in the field.


    Finally, they get into the long term impact of the Civil War on the generations that followed.
