Gerry's Opening Monologue -
"This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...
| | ...All of us that have studied the American Civil War, are aware of the enormous cost in human lives, but we don't always stop to think about the ripple effects. In the Confederacy, some 100,000 soldier's wives became widows during the war. Their story is one of grief and loss, first and foremost, but it's also one of unexpected political dimensions. No one else living in the South sacrificed more for the Confederacy than its widows. So how they acted and what they've said about the cause mattered a lot. Professor Angela Esco Elder is the first scholar to explore this topic in detail, in her new book, 'Love and Duty: Confederate Widows and the Emotional Politics of Loss.' We'll talk with her tonight on Civil War Talk Radio." |
