Episode 11 – Out of the Jaws of Victory – Racism, Part 2
Back in Episode 4, we looked at the elephant in our country, Racism, and I called it Part 1. It was, typical of me and this podcast, a broad vertical history of racism from our earliest American Colonial history.
In this second look at racism, we’ll look at the aftermath of the Civil War,  the mythology of the Old South, and how the Union lost the war after the war was won.
