"Dr. Bruce Levine from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign presents the lecture "Confederate Emancipation" on May 7th, 2008. It probes the public debate that dominated politics in the South during the last six months of the war, the controversy whether to emancipate and arm slaves on behalf of the Confederacy. The lecture explores racial and pro-slavery ideology, the interaction of blacks and whites, among other things."
