Prof. Silber Discusses Relevancy of Civil War in WaPo, Boston Globe, and Journal of the Civil War Era
Professor of American History Nina Silber offers reflections, in three separate venues, on the different ways the Civil War has been in the news in the last few weeks.
For the August 17th entry of The Washington Post‘s running blog, “Made by History,” Professor Silber wrote an op-ed titled “Worshiping the Confederacy is about white supremacy — even the Nazis thought so.” The post is available at The Washington Post website here.
On July 31st, Silber published a piece for the Journal of the Civil War Era‘s blog “Muster” on HBO’s announcement of its planned alternate history series Confederate. The piece, titled “The South Rises Yet Again, This Time on HBO” can be read online here.
Finally, Silber provided commentary on the presence of Confederate monuments in Boston and elsewhere in a piece in The Boston Globe on the Massachusetts government’s discussion of the removal of a Confederate memorial on Georges Island.
