Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Fergus M. Bordewich to discuss his book, Congress at War: How Republican Reformers Fought the Civil War, Defied Lincoln, Ended Slavery, and Remade America. They talk about the productivity of the 37th and 38th Congresses, two of the most impactful in American history, which were being steered by a Republican Party still in its infancy. They also chat how members of Congress like Thaddeus Stevens, Ben Wade, and William Pitt Fessenden clashed with Abraham Lincoln over war policy, and how others like Clement Vallandigham possibly crossed the line into treasonous conduct.

Ill Literacy, Episode VI: Congress at War (Guest: Fergus M. Bordewich)

One of the paths that led to the Civil War was a hidden one: the Underground Railroad. Fergus M. Bordewich, author of Bound For Canaan: The Underground Railroad and the War for the Soul of America, reveals the reality behind a much mythologized historical phenomenon.
