About this listen

Year(s) Discussed: 1960-1975 In a landscape where Confederate flags, Lincoln quotes, and Civil War symbols are woven into modern politics, how did history become a tool for political identity and culture wars? Historian Tim Galsworthy uncovers for us the surprising ways Civil War memory has shaped the Republican Party and American politics from 1960 through the first half of the 1970s - from Eisenhower’s cautious leadership to Goldwater's subtle references and the strategic use of Lincoln's legacy. Discover in our conversation in this episode how these historical narratives influence today's polarization, racial dynamics, and campaign strategies.
