GRANT VS. LEE
The 1864 Project is a limited series about the consequential decisions and events that shaped outcomes and affected lives during a pivotal year in the American Civil War.
On this episode, we're joined by Cecily Zander, assistant professor of history at Texas Women's University and author of the recently published book, The Army Under Fire: The Politics of Anti-Militarism in the Civil War Era (Louisiana State University Press, 2024). We talked about the challenges Robert E. Lee and his vaunted Army of Northern Virginia encountered when facing a new opponent in Ulysses S. Grant during the summer of 1864.
Welcome to The 1864 Project. We hope you’ll join us.
