About this episode
Did the Confederates predict that secession would lead to war? How ready were they to fight? And what was their military strategy?
Cecily Zander is back on the podcast for this third part of our series on the Confederacy. Listen to find out who was in charge, and whether there was ever a point when they might have won.
Cecily is the author of the upcoming 'Abraham Lincoln and the American West', and 'The Army Under Fire: Antimilitarism in the Civil War Era'.
Produced and edited by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
