While Ms. Nikki Haley was reluctant to say the "S" word (read slavery), we all know that slavery caused the Civil War. In this episode, we discuss whether slavery was the Civil War's immediate cause or its underlying cause.

The in-depth analysis of this history is important for our current political moment because race is placed in front and center. For example, did you know that not all Southern states seceded? Or that most Northerners were deeply racist? Or that some slave states, such as Maryland, did not secede and that the Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to them?

To learn more about the history of the Civil War, I spoke with Mr. Roger Lowenstein (rogerlowenstein.com/), a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal for more than a decade. He is a historian and his writings and writings about his books appear in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Fortune, the New York Times, Atlantic, the Washington Post, and many other publications. He has written several books, including New York Times bestsellers… about different important personalities and periods in the economic and financial history of the U.S.

He is the author of "Ways and Means, Lincoln and His Cabinet and the Financing of the Civil War", which was the Winner of the Harold Holzer Lincoln Forum Book Prize.

You might also be interested in my prior conversation with Mr. Lowenstein, during which he compared the US Civil War with the current war in Ukraine. Specifically, we talked about cotton and plantation owners in the South and Russia's tycoons and oil in Russia. Listen here: bit.ly/HbN-S2E14s

I hope you enjoy these episodes.
