This is Terry Johnston, founder and editor-in-chief of The Civil War Monitor, a quarterly magazine that presents a fresh look at America’s greatest conflict. Since 2011, we've been dedicated to sharing the rich and complex story of the Civil War. Now, we're excited to bring that history to you in a new way: through podcasting.
Our first series, The 1864 Project, is a podcast about one consequential year in the American Civil War. 1864 is the year that Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee faced off in Virginia, that President Abraham Lincoln ran for reelection, that women’s roles dramatically shifted on the homefront, and that African Americans seized freedom in rapidly increasing numbers. In this limited series, we’ll talk to leading historians about the year 1864 and why it was so important—and transformative. They’ll help us put the events of that year in perspective, and even link them to our current day culture and politics.
Welcome to The 1864 Project. We hope you’ll join us.
