I would like to share with you a remarkable lecture that comes at the Civil War from a very different perspective. It's a presentation at Princeton a few years ago by historian Harry Stout of Yale. He is NOT a military historian; instead, his specialty has been the history of American history. Stout raises questions that are seldom addressed, yet if we are to really learn anything from this war, we need to wrestle with these questions.
With introduction and post-lecture Q&A, it's a tad over an hour in length, so be warned. Be sure to watch the Q&A -- there's good stuff there too.
