As BackStory moves towards the end of its production, we\u2019ve asked our hosts to select memorable moments from the show that we\u2019re publishing as episodes once per month.\xa0\n
\n\nA founding host of the show, Ed Ayers has had hundreds of conversations on a huge variety of topics. But some of his favorite BackStory moments touched on anniversaries and events related to his own field in American history: slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction.\xa0\n
\n\nSo in this best of BackStory, we will take a deep dive into what the Confederacy means today, and learn about the newly opened Civil War Museum. Then, we\u2019ll hear tape from a BackStory live show at the 150th anniversary of the liberation of Richmond, Virginia.\n
