May I suggest a companion book by Heather Cox Richardson, "How the South Won the Civil War (2020)." I have not listened yet to the podcast, but what Greg has summarized pretty much mirrors what Professor Richardson has written in her book. "West from Appomattox: The Reconstruction of America After the Civil War (2008)" is another Cox Richardson book that I have yet to read but I trust is another detailed account: "A sweeping history of the United States from the era of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, this engaging book stretches the boundaries of our understanding of Reconstruction. Historian Heather Cox Richardson ties the North and West into the post–Civil War story that usually focuses narrowly on the South, encompassing the significant people and events of this profoundly important era."
Thanks, Greg, for introducing me to another "voice," speaking for our side!
UPDATE: This podcast with Manisha Sinha was terrific. I will be ordering (and reading!) her book, for sure.
