Gerry's Opening Monologue -
"This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...
| | ...from the first arrival of Europeans and North America to the middle of the 19th century, Catholics formed a minority that was largely ignored by America's Protestant majority. That changed with the wave of immigration from Ireland and Germany in the 1840s and 50s. So in the decade before the Civil War, American Catholics fought against nativist prejudice for equal civil rights, even as many of them also embraced pro-slavery ideology that denied equality to others. During the war, Catholics played active roles, hiding both for and against the US government. So if you like your history, black and white. With clear good guys and bad guys, you won't want to listen to any of the conversation upcoming with Robert Emmett Curran, author of 'American Catholics and the Quest for Equality in the Civil War Era.' That's tonight on Civil War Talk Radio." |
