Book Breaks with Michael Vorenberg on Lincoln’s Peace: The Struggle to End the American Civil War

 

Date & Time:  September 7, 2025, 02:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

An Unholy Traffic book cover

Michael Vorenberg steps into a lively and thought-provoking debate among historians: When, exactly, did the Civil War end? It’s a question that defies easy answers. And the chosen “end date” doesn’t just mark a moment in time; it shapes how we understand the war’s meaning, consequences, and enduring legacy.
