Endless War - Dr. Jeremi Suri, University of Texas, Austin - DSPod #268

Dr. Jeremi Suri is a professor of Public Affairs and History at
the University of Texas, Austin whose recent work explores the
idea that the American civil war never ended. Suri argues that
the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse at the end of the Civil
War was just a superficial conclusion of outright hostilities,
not a true end to the massive division that ran across America
during colonial times. Our conversation with Suri centers around
the question of where these divisions come from, what has
entrenched them, why the same social rifts are opening not just
in America, but all around the world. Most importantly, we
wrestle with what can be done about a seeping wound of discontent
that refuses to heal. Sign up for our Patreon and get episodes
