The History of Ideas

Todays show is about the differences in historical interpretation which can be seen especially in the Civil War. No historical event shows that history is interpretation more than the Civil War. To bring up this war in a room full of people will cause sparks fly and a few punches. I engage in a rather biased view that the war was fought over slavery, but give readings of interpretations from the view of the Confederate like minded people and the Union like minded people. The point I am trying to show is how subjective history is to how people re-tell the past.

The music you hear in the beginning is by the Oriskany Strings and their song is called "The train don't run here anymore." The outro song is by budz and the song is "New show come to town." The show is produced entirely in Ubuntu Linux from start to finish. Thank you for listening, and can't wait to see you next week.
