Lorien Foote on the American Civil War

Lorien Foote, South Central Review

Between 2011 and 2015, various celebrations and commemorations took place to mark the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War. These events led to many conferences and academic discussions to take advantage of the heightened interest in the topic. Earlier this year, the journal South Central Review released a special issue on Historians and the American Civil War at the Sesquicentennial. Lorien Foote, guest editor of the issue, joined us to reflect its creation and contributions to this growing field of study.
