Heather Cox Richardson discusses her book How the South Won the Civil War
Heather Cox Richardson\u2019s latest book \u201cHow the South Won the Civil War: Oligarchy, Democracy, and the Continuing Fight for the Soul of America\u201d traces the story of the American paradox, the competing claims of equality and subordination woven into the nation's fabric and identity. Debunking the myth that the Civil War released the nation from the grip of oligarchy, expunging the sins of the Founding Fathers, it reveals how and why the Old South not only survived in the West but thrived. Join us for a hard look at the enduring evil of the nation\u2019s original sin in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
