Ep. 977: Lincoln's Soldiers Fighting for a Paycheck
Why did Northern men fight? It might have been more practical than you think. I talked about a great book on this topic three years ago, but with Memorial Day coming up, it's a good time to revisit both the book and the why Union men went to war.

Ep. 976: (Dis)Honest Abe
The myth of "Honest" Abe Lincoln can be easily dispelled. I give you one example from his First Inaugural Address. Lincoln lied, all the time.

Ep. 975: Republicans Crush Free Speech and the Free Press
No, not the current GOP, though it's the same as Lincoln's GOP. But Lincoln and his cronies did a number on free speech and the free press during the War. Even some Lincoln worshiping historians recognize this.

Ep. 973: The Fort Pillow "Massacre"?
Did Nathan Bedford Forrest commit "war crimes" at Fort Pillow in 1864? And was it a "massacre"? The story is quite complex, but you would not know that if you just listened to mainstream historians.

Ep. 972: The Anti-War Abraham Lincoln Myth
Was Lincoln trying to avoid war at all costs? No. Was Lincoln dragged into the Civil War? No. He had options, even if modern Lincoln worshipers downplay them.

Ep. 971: Does Leftist Create Mental Illness?
According to modern psychologists, progressivism leads to depression and mental illness, something most conservatives don't experience. Why? Yankee self-righteous do-gooder busy-bodyism.
