Check out James Cobb’s post, which appeared in the New Republic Online on slavery apologies. He makes a compelling case. Ed Ayers reviews Heather Cox Richardson’s new book West From Appomattox: The Reconstruction of America After the Civil War (Yale University Press, 2007).

"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."
