107 The Civil War - Billy Yank and Johnny Reb Join Up

We are taking a break from battles and leaders and looking at the
men who composed the armies of the North and the South during the
Civil War. This episode will be the first of several that look at
the lives of the ordinary soldiers. It seems appropriate to start
with a broad overview of the motivations that compelled men to
serve. On the flip side of the coin, we will also discuss
conscription in the north and the south. Take a listen!
