What Caused the Civil War? | Politics
Episode description as stored
<p>How did the politicians in Washington D.C. push America towards the one thing they wanted to avoid: all out Civil War? We look at how the violent and frat house culture that existed within D.C. played its part, and at the chronic failure of leadership from those sitting atop of this steaming mess - the Presidents.</p>
<p>We're joined by returning guest (from our Franklin Pierce episode) Brian C Neumann, author of 'Bloody Flag of Anarchy: Unionism in South Carolina during the Nullification Crisis' and managing director of the John L. Nau III Center for Civil War History at the University of Virginia.</p>
<p>Produced by Freddy Chick. Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long</p>
